This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want to see changes to limits on working hours for mobile workers, but we're not sure if you mean professional drivers, or other people whose work involves moving around.

People can already opt out of the 48 hour working time regulations, and it's not clear if you want the 60 hour limit you have proposed to be mandatory, of have a similar opt out.

The 48 hour working time regulations apply to all workers, but there are specific driving limits for professional drivers: www.gov.uk/drivers-hours/gb-domestic-rules

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
