DUTCH PARLIAMENT WANTS TO BAN DRIVERS TAKING NIGHT BREAKS IN THEIR CABS TO AVOID BECOMING ‘THE PARKING OF EUROPE’


The Dutch Parliament is calling on the government to prohibit night breaks for drivers in their cabs to prevent the Netherlands becoming the ‘parking of Europe’.


They want to follow the examples of Belgium, France and Germany in banning drivers from taking their 45-hour rest breaks in their truck cabins, a move that has been welcomed by Transport & Logistics Netherlands (TLN). The move would create ‘a level playing field’ with neighbouring countries and address the issue facing areas close to borders where drivers are crossing over into the Netherlands in order to take their mandatory rest breaks in their vehicles.


TLN has also welcomed parliament’s request for the government to address the lack of secure parking sites in the Netherlands. TLN, which has been campaigning on this subject for some time, says the move is evidence that politicians are working to honour the wishes of the transport sector.

Meanwhile, police have recovered more than €273,000 of stolen products in a warehouse in Fijnaart in the Dutch province of North Brabant and arrested four Albanians and a Romanian national. Inside the facility, police found smartphones, tablets and large quantities of watches, cigarettes and other electronics equipment. Two tractor units and a trailer were also confiscated. The suspects are believed to have targeted vehicles in secured parking locations and to have used GPS jammers when making their escape.
