CLEVELAND (AP) - 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.

Sometimes schoolbus drivers do hold up traffic to socialize! Sometimes with me when I'm outside! So don't tell us it don't happen. I've seen it many times! The woman didn't have the right to drive up on the sidewalk, but the drivers do socialize holding up traffic!! and they speed!!

Humiliating display....1 hour a day for 2 days, not really! 30 day suspension should have been 30 years and 250.00 fine should've been 250,000 for this Prima Donna who to this day doesn't believe she did anything wrong....then a "blogger" here has the nerve to go down the road of a "Bus Driver holding up traffic to socialize" REALLY....Get your A$$ outta bed a half hour ealier!

Oh yeah, cold! Great thought, BUT how about adding a nice rain/snow mix with a wind chill coming down out of Canada?

navrat, it's all in the perception my friend. What I see are school bus drivers trying to get away from parents who wish to chat them up; only to be afraid the act of trying to get back to work will be perceived as rude by the parent.

You know only an idiot would do something like that. So yep, an idiot sign is good. Think she learned anything?

The public humiliation should do her some good but I still think the sentence is weak.
