This reminds me of when I was about 17.
Our bus driver was a good guy and it was a long time ago.
we had about 2 kids left on the bus and I was the last kid to get off the bus and the first one to get on every day.
We were going down a gravel road and I was looking out the window.
All of a sudden I yelled out STOP THE BUS!!!!
Mr Mcgehee slammed on the brakes and said what is it.
Back up there is a sack full of beer in the ditch so he backed up I got out grabbed the beer and got back on.
I got home and put the beer in the refrigerator.
My dad asked where did you find that, 'on the side of the road.
We didn't keep beer in the house but it was okay.
The next day the bus driver my dad and myself sat out in the shade at the picnic table and had our free beer two each in about one hour.
Mr Mcgehee got back on the bus and drove back to town to his house.
Back in those days the bus driver took the bus home every day and they were also the school custodian and general repair guys.
In other words if the bus needed fixing it would be fixed by the drivers or anything else that needed fixing.

When I turned 18 I could legally buy beer he would stop at the Conoco station and let me do this if certain kids weren't on the bus.

I dont know if any of this was wrong or right but I can say one thing schools and life was one heck of a lot better.
