Wear a sign that says "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid the school bus." for an hour per day for two days in a row? The suspended license makes sense (but only for 30 days?), as well as a fine (should be more than $250, IMO) but the sign part is just kind of silly.

The public humiliation tactic is probably more effective than jail, even if it seems ridiculous by Draco-American standards.

Have her pick up some trash on the side of the highway, thats pretty humiliating, as well as productive.

As for how personal the humiliation is, considering her actions could've resulted in the death of a person (maybe even a kid), she got off easy, IMHO. |

I do agree she got off far too easy. She sould have had a steeper fine, a longer license suspension, and maybe even a few days jailtime.

Of course, this could surpass traffic violation and move into the realm of 'reckless driving' which I do believe can land someone jailtime.

Mix that with an idiot that drives fast on the sidewalk and the punishment is no where near enough.
Nobody thinks there could be an idiot in the sidewalk going fast with their car when getting out of an apartment.
If I were the judge, I'd never let her drive again and would make her visit the neighbourhood door by door to distribute flyers saying "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid the school bus. I am that idiot." with a mugshot on them.

Sneaky suspicion we'll be seeing this twit again.
