Rejected petition Cap what motorway services can charge HGV drivers for food and drink.

HGV drivers are legally obligated to take regular breaks. Often due to routes & vehicle dimensions it is only safe & suitable to stop at services. Drivers are then forced to pay a high premium to consume basic food and drink from their outlets as there is few alternatives.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is the responsibility of retailers at service stations, not the Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to require employers of HGV drivers to pay allowances for food and drink consumed during legally-required rest stops.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
