Closed Coach drivers should be limited to 15 hours whether double or single crewed

Closed on

The practice of transporting children overnight through Europe needs to be stopped so that they can only be carried between 6am and 1130pm by drivers who have had a minimum of 45 hours rest prior to any journey that takes a double manned team to 15 hours.
This is an attempt to stop the tragedy of coaches crashing through tired drivers.
Lets stop this horrible practice, so that professional drivers do not lose everything because they are pushed way beyond the limit.
