    Woman who drove on sidewalk holds 'idiot' sign

    Shena Hardin holds up a sign to serve a highly public sentence Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012, in Cleveland, for driving on a sidewalk to avoid a Cleveland school bus that was unloading children. A Cleveland Municipal Court judge ordered 32-year-old Hardin to serve the highly public sentence for one hour Tuesday and Wednesday.

    CLEVELAND (AP) — A woman caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to pass a Cleveland school bus that was unloading children stood in the cold at an intersection holding a sign warning people about idiots.

    A Cleveland Municipal Court judge ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to serve the highly public sentence for one hour Tuesday and Wednesday. She arrived bundled up against the 34-degree cold, puffing a cigarette, wearing head phones and avoiding comment as passing vehicles honked.

    Satellite TV trucks were on hand to stream the event live near downtown Cleveland.

    The sign read: "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."

    Hardin's license was suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs.
