I can only speak to twins, and they're toddlers and not old enough to be on a bus, but... My driving ability rapidly deteriorates when they decide it's time to start arguing / fighting with each other, or myself, or when they're just screaming about whatever it is they decide they want to scream about, or when they're having a "problem" and are demanding help, etc.
I've accidentally rolled stop signs, I've accidentally crossed lanes, I forget my blinker. It's all of the hallmarks of distracted driving. It's not constant, in fact it's rare, but then I only have 2 in the car with me and it only takes once for an accident.
We have very long conversations now about why it's bad to distract the driver before we get in the car and start the engine. It's helping, slowly.
I cannot imagine doing it for a living.
