1993年小巴事故中遇难女孩的父母推动英国要求教师驾驶学生持有D1驾照。 Parents of girl killed in 1993 minibus crash push UK to require D1 licences for teachers driving students.

他们的女儿克莱尔在1993年的一起M40小型巴士事故中死亡,造成13人丧生30多年后, 她的父母利兹和史蒂夫·菲茨杰拉德正在敦促英国要求教师驾驶学生D1驾照. More than 30 years after their daughter Claire died in a 1993 M40 minibus crash that killed 13 people, her parents Liz and Steve Fitzgerald are urging the UK to require D1 driving licences for teachers transporting students. 没有专门的培训,医疗检查或实践考试就能驾驶小巴. 这种情况造成了可避免的风险. They argue current rules allow any teacher over 21 with a standard licence to drive a minibus without specialized training, medical checks, or a practical test, creating avoidable risks. 许多教师感到有压力开车, 有些在一天的教学时间后行驶超过50英里. Supported by their MP and the NASUWT teachers’ union, they highlight that many teachers feel pressured to drive, some traveling over 50 miles after full teaching days. 政府表示提供安全指导, 但没有强制规定D1许可证的使用, 留下一个长期存在的漏洞, While the government says it provides safety guidance, it has not mandated D1 licences, leaving a long-standing loophole that advocates say endangers students and staff.
