    What's the right and proper punishment for a person who drives their car onto a sidewalk to zip past a school bus? A fine? Sure. Suspended licence? Probably that too. But one Cleveland court added a cherry on top, compelling Shena Hardin, the gas-head in question, to return to the scene of the crime and wear a big sign saying "idiot".

    The Cleveland Leader reports that a bus driver had noticed Hardin scoot past his vehicle several times, and eventually decided to film the culprit.

    On September 11 police set up a sting and caught her in action.

    After a brief court case, Hardin was found guilty of not stopping for a school bus and reckless operation.

    As part of her punishment she must return to the location of the crime for an hour a day next Tuesday and Wednesday, wearing a sign that reads "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid the school bus."

    Agreed minirab! If she had hit and killed one of my Grand Kids, I promise that she would have not got off that light with me! Here in Arkansas they are Very serious about speed limits in school zones and even harder on someone who doesn't stop both way's when a school bus is stopped loading or unloading children!:mad2:

    Sometimes I think the forefathers of the 1600's had it right. Just tattoo a big "I" on her forehead.

    BTW: She didn't just pass a bus while the kids were loading... she passed the bus by DRIVING ON THE SIDEWALK while the kids were loading!

    Apparently she does this often enough that the bus driver shot his own video to catch/report her!

    2 hours of humiliation is not nearly enough punishment... they should allow us to throw rocks from the passing cars as well! I'm all for a good, old-fashioned stoning!
