Why errant drivers should be made to hold ‘idiot’ signs

Many Kenyan motorists would easily brand a judge, who gave a woman an usual punishment for a traffic offence in Ohio, USA, an idiot. The   woman was arrested after she was caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to pass a school bus that was unloading children.

The Solomonic judge’s sentence? The woman was ordered to hold a sign at a busy road junction that read: “Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.” Well, she served her sentence under the glare of passersby and media cameras.
