I wonder, were all students occasionally offered rides to classes, or
just players?  And who was offering, another player, a player's SO or
best friend, or a coach or some other person in an official capacity, or
heck, just some student the player didn't know?  I have a feeling it was
someone later in that list.
 
Since it appears we must draw the line somewhere, the only lines that
really make sense are all and nothing.  Anything in between allows for
misinterpretation.
