Default Court orders reckless driver to wear "idiot" sign
Love it. Doubt it'll actually happen though. As part of her sentence for repeatedly driving around a school bus on the sidewalk, a 32 year old Ohio woman will have to wear a sign that reads: "Only an idiot drives on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus" for an hour a day on two consecutive days.

CMSD driver Uriah Herron is credited by supervisors for his quick thinking to nab the driver, whose sidewalk detours appear to be a daily occurrence, on camera.

I thought the idiot part was self explanatory when she bought a Jeep Compass.

Unless it was "Trail Rated" then that's pretty hardcore.

I think she got off extremely easy. $250 fine and 30 day suspension + that t-shirt thing for a DAILY recurrence is pretty light.

Thats just ridiculous. Why on earth would she think thats okay?

Pulling insane vehicular stunts in close proximity to a school bus? I dont know what to say.

They tried to argue that the bus takes too long to pick up the chlid b/c the driver chats with the mother.

Apparently that argument didn't work.

Good.

LOL, that's awesome, but I think it's stupid to have a law stopping you from passing a stopped school bus.

They even come with big fold-out "STOP" signs that are equipped with lights and everything.

Kids are dumb. Like full-out stupid.
As long as we live in a society that protects them, this needs to be a law.
