Judge: Dimwit Driver to wear Idiot Sign for Stupid Traffic Move

November 9th, 2012. By AbiK

We’ve seen a lot of stupidity on the pages of our Totally Tortelicious posts–but we continue to be amazed at the extent some folks will go to in an attempt to beat the system somehow.

Take Shena Hardin.

Ms. Hardin apparently doesn’t like waiting those few precious minutes we all have to wait when a school bus comes to a stop, puts on those flashing red lights and shoves that little stop sign out. Most of us just stop (hello, child safety)—but Shena? No, that little stop sign might just as well have been the street version of a toreador’s handkerchief. Only she wasn’t about to charge the thing, she had a better plan!

Ms. Hardin thought she’d found a way to deal with her daily annoyance of getting stuck behind that damn school bus. She decided she’d go around the bus—but not on the street as, well, that might get her a ticket of course. Hell no—she took the sidewalk instead!

That’s right—she took the sidewalk. In her car. Drove right down the middle of it. (See the video above).  And according to WPTV News Channel 5, she did this daily—so it wasn’t just some “I’ll duck down, hit the gas, go around the bus and hope nobody sees me—just this once” kind of thing. No—this was her longer-term solution to waiting for that damn bus to get moving.

It gets better.

Ms. Hardin forgot that we live in an age of smart phones—you know how they have those handy built-in cameras and all. So the Cleveland Metropolitan School District bus driver, Uriah Herron, decided to take a little video of Shena’s slick move.

Seriously—look at the video above. That’s Shena there—cruising right around the school bus on the sidewalk on E. 38th Street between Superior and Payne Avenues in Cleveland. Just listen to the kids on the bus—the laughs, the OMGs and WTFs.
