Woman who drove car on pavement punished with 'idiot' sign

An American woman who drove her car on a pavement in an attempt to pass a stationary school bus has been forced to stand in public holding a sign describing her as an "idiot."

The unusual sentence was imposed by a judge in Cleveland, Ohio on Shena Hardin, 32, after she was caught on camera trying to circumvent the bus as it unloaded children.

The sign she was made to hold read: "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."

Hardin stood for an hour in freezing temperatures at a busy road junction, ignoring passers-by and drivers honking their horns.

Lisa Kelley, whose nine-year-old daughter uses the bus, said: "She's an idiot, just like her sign says. She did this almost every day last year.

"She won't stop laughing. She's not remorseful, she laughed at every court appearance. She's still laughing, so she needs to be humiliated like this."

I like it, but its too lenient. There has to be some better way to humiliate her. She'll forget about this.

i agree. that last quote should be enough to convince anyone that this isn't punishment enough. take her license away and slap her with a big fine, let's see if she is still laughing then.

Better idea is to tattoo it on her forehead

Well, she should probably get the chair for her crime. The sign is going too far, though.
