We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Set a legal maximum temperature in HGV trucks
We call on the Government to set a maximum legal temperature for HGV cabs. HGV drivers should not be expected to drive for many hours in excessive heat. This can cause tiredness and could be potentially dangerous to all road users.
More details
With the implementation of a maximum working temperature we hope this will encourage haulage companies to ensure their cabs are fitted with air-conditioning, for haulage services to continue, even in high temperatures.
