I don't know how anyone could not smile at this one. Regardless of how shocking and insane it is. Good to know that our school systems make sure to hire only the best drivers for school buses. Oh wait, thats right, they are contracted out to private bus transportation services! I don't think they give a flying hoot who they hire. Whats next? Drunk principle attempts to demonstrate
safe oral sex on student, replying with "I just wanted to make sure they got it right!".
CANBERRA (Reuters) - A bus driver who was 13 times over the legal alcohol limit while driving a bus load of schoolchildren had a simple request for police who arrested him for drunken driving, an Australian court heard Wednesday.
"Can I finish my run, at least to drop these kids off?"
A country court in New South Wales state was told 50-year old David Stack had a blood alcohol level of 0.26, which is 13 times the legal limit for a bus driver, when he was stopped on November 7.
The court was told two adult passengers had alerted police after Stack's bus was speeding and swerving across the road.

Stack, who pleaded guilty to the drunk driving charge, said he regretted his actions and had apologized to the children on the bus at the time.
Now unemployed, Stack will be sentenced in February.

.26 is dddrrrrunnnnnnnnkkkkk, but he has probably been driving so long it has become second nature to him. If I had a kid I would let him ride with him, I see no harm caused by this man.

I found this to be very funny, I can just imagine a drunk bus driver asking to finish the route.

In other news apparently the legal limit in Australia is 1/4 - 1/5 the legal limit most everywhere in the US.

... Are you retarded? Or do you just fail to realize that this is a BUS driver. That means a different class of license, and different regulations you must adhere to. The legal limit for a bus driver is MUCH lower than for a regular driver dumbass.
Cut and paste -2 but +1 for actually saying somthing.

There's not enough Booze in Australia to enable Shlongy to drive a busload of these little shit-stirrers back and forth on a daily basis.
Good for this guy.
