what do you think speed cameras or those signs that flash and tell you?

A bus leaving in this situation has the right of way. You have to wait for them to go. Once they're moving, you could pass them if safe.

How many car accidents have happened in wisconsin today because of the snow?

On a two lane road give it a few seconds to get going and look to your left and make sure no kid is late and running for the bus. The bus is not going to out accelerate you anyway. On a four lane, just go for it. On a four lane the bus will not stop for kids on the oposite side of the road so there shouldn't be any kids running from the left trying to catch the bus.
Use patience, wouldn't you rather be late than cause a disaster that no one will forgive?

Is it irresponsible for car makers to?

If you can legally pass after the bus is under way, do it. ie; no solid yellow line on your side, etc.

Slowly pass the bus. Some kids will run back into the street for some reason.
