What really is disturbing is all the people who drive past school buses when the STOP sign is out. That should be criminal.
You could put governors on all cars but that would do anything for that woman or children getting to school/home safely.
What we need to do is make it so that phones don’t work when the cars are moving.

Many people have their phones connected to the audio of their cars. That way they can tell their wife that they're TRYING to get to the hospital to watch the birth of their child, but they're stuck in traffic. Or they can tell their child that they're on their way to pick them up at school but are stuck in traffic, and to just stay put. Or they can tell their spouse that yes - they'll stop at the store on the way home and pick up a quart of milk. Or tell the doctor that no, you didn't remember you had an appointment 10 minutes ago but you're turning around and will be there in 5.
There's also the matter of GPS programs that are apps on your cell phone. No phone = no GPS.
