A driver in Ohio who drove along a pedestrian way to pass a school bus, even as children were embarking, was given a novel punishment. After attending court, the woman was required to stand at an intersection wearing a sign bearing the word ‘idiot’ between 7.45am and 8.45am. Passing a school bus while children are boarding or disembarking is a driving offence in most US states. The bus driver managed to film the offence and reported this to the police. The woman also paid a fine and was banned from driving temporarily.
