Schoolgirl hero ‘acted on common sense’
March 31, 2007

Laura, who was returning to her Longreach home from St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School in Brisbane, managed to revive the driver, who lifted his foot off the accelerator and pulled the bus to a halt.
If the bus had failed to stop, it could have ended up in a river.
Laura then found a torch and evacuated the passengers from the bus before ringing an ambulance and coach operators, Greyhound.
Roma police will nominate Laura, who does not yet have her driver’s licence, for a bravery award, but she says she was just following common sense.
Roma police Inspector Graham Coleman yesterday described Laura’s actions as heroic, saying: “She’s obviously saved injury, if not the lives of people on the bus.”

And, excatly why do we, they, anyone have “driver’s licenses”?
Good people can do it fine without the Gooferment’s involvement.
