he certainly should get some sort of medal!

he's not the first driver to do that, its the right thing to do for a professional operator or anyone really . there are good reasons to avoid killing people if you can, living with it might prove difficult. maybe a local hero sticker is the way to go.

they said it happened in england. i thought australian medals were meant to be given to australians?

I am interested to know why his brakes failed before I go handing out medals.

Presumably the police will be checking out the vehicle for road worthiness.

Every driver is responsible for roadworthiness of the vehicle they drive, as well as any damage they cause.  I would have thought that  to avoid colision with another vehicle at all costs goes without question.
