That's not even a skoolie- looks like a legit school bus- complete with all markings.

Bet that driver gets called-in for a P test.

Since school buses are built a few inches narrower than a coach we should be able to do that easy.

He made a minor adjustment but otherwise is was a straight line.

Camera man needs some work. Should have jumped on the roof and stuck his head thru one of the hatches. That would have scared the piss out of everyone.
