Here's your sign

This would make Bill Engvall proud.

CLEVELAND — In addition to a license suspension and fine, a woman who was caught on video passing a school bus by driving on the sidewalk will have to make an unflattering declaration to the world. Or at least to Cleveland.

Back in September, she plead not guilty to charges of not stopping for a school bus and reckless operation.

A bus driver had noticed Hardin’s pattern along East 38th Street so he notified Cleveland Schools and had his cell phone camera rolling during one of her episodes.

The portion of sidewalk she used to avoid the bus was the entrance to a day care.

Police set up a sting to catch her on her makeshift detour and cited her on Sept. 11.

As part of her sentence from Cleveland Municipal Court, Hardin must wear a sign that says, “Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid the school bus.”

I love when judges hand down sentences like this. I am sure there are those who would argue that humiliation is not the way to go. Not in this new, feel good, utopia we have created [heavy sarcasm alert]. But I think public humiliation is not alway a bad thing.
