European Parliament
Franz Obermayr  (NI ),
in writing.
(DE)
Unfortunately, serious accidents are occurring on Europe’s roads because of overtired drivers employed by transport and haulage companies. The drivers are generally under considerable time pressure, which is why they are failing to take the necessary breaks. Intelligent tachographs used as recording devices could help to resolve this problem. However, I have abstained, because this sensible idea should be decided on by the individual Member States, depending on the transport situation in each country.
