A woman who was caught on video driving along a sidewalk to avoid a stopped school bus has been ordered to wear an 'idiot' sign at the intersection
where it happened.
Shena Hardin, 32, of Cleveland pleaded guilty to not stopping for a school bus and reckless operation. A Cleveland Municipal Court judge ordered her
driver's license suspended for 30 days and for her to pay $250 in court costs, according to WJW Fox 8.
As part of the sentence, Hardin must also must wear a sign that reads, "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid the school bus" for an
hour a day for two days next week at the intersection where the incident occurred, according to Fox 8.
Hardin was arrested on Sept. 11 after a veteran school bus driver Uriah Herron noticed Hardin pull her driving stunt several times and recorded one
incident on his cell phone camera.
"We had a very conscientious driver for 30 years. He really cares about his children and he took the extra step that this doesn't happen again," said
Cleveland Metropolitan School District bus manager Eric Taylor told newsnet5.com.
The judge's unique sentence predictably has drawn hundreds of comments on social media. Many agree with the sentence, saying more judges should strive
for non-traditional penalties. Others however, argue that the punishment is too degrading and humiliating for a motor vehicle violation.

reporter trying to justify her actions. FUCK OFF YOU SELFISH LAZY MO'S! That mother with the disabled child should feel a little relief knowing those
idiots were caught. At least for now.
