My friend was allowed stand on the bench seat until he was tall enough to see out over the dashboard.

But I also remember in high school going with the director to Pittsburgh in a utility van to pick up costumes for the musical. I sat on a wobbly kitchen chair in the back because there were only two seats. This was technically a school function and all hell would have broke loose had there been a wreck.
