Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin have things to do. So if they're trying to pick up their kids from school and a school bus is in their way ... well, they don't have time to just wait around.

Video shows Paltrow (riding a scooter) nearly being hit by the bus as she zipped around it with daughter Apple on the back. In fact, if the bus driver hadn't been paying close attention, things might have ended much differently. Martin -- presumably with son Moses in tow -- follows on a scooter of his own.

No word on where they were going in such a hurry or why they couldn't just wait their turn like everyone else, but we're thinking the Paltrow-Martins might want to send that bus driver a thank-you card and maybe some flowers.
