CLEVELAND - A woman caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to avoid a Cleveland school bus that was unloading children will have to stand at an intersection wearing a sign warning about idiots.

Court records show a Cleveland Municipal Court judge on Monday ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to stand at an intersection for two days next week. She will have to wear a sign saying: "Only an idiot drives on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."

The judge ordered her to wear the sign from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. both days.

Hardin's license was suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs.

Messages seeking comment were left at a telephone listing for Hardin and at her attorney's office.

Guess she must have been in a hurry?

harsher punishment would be: max. fine, no driving licence forever, and jail for dangerous driving.

I don't get it. How did the know she was going to do this in advance?

Looks like she does it everyday, and they set her up.

That's worse than the chinese driver in a white Mercedes SUV with a green "N" on the back that I saw yesterday try to pull
a left turn from a side street onto Kingsway in Vancouver, which has a median in the middle. He got half way across Kingsway,
realized he couldn't turn left there, even though it's clearly marked Right Turn Only. He then drove for almost a block the wrong
way down the road to the next available street and turned left off of it. It was fortunate it wasn't during rush hour. There are
idiot drivers all over. Watch out!
