Funny Story From Fox
Street Racer Made to Wear Sandwich Board
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — If drivers can't read Erik Rivera's sign, they might be going too fast.
Rivera used to street race on late nights through south Orange County. Now he goes at a slower pace, wearing a sign: "Don't Street Race. I Lost My Drivers License for 3 Years."
Orange Circuit Judge John H. Adams Sr. ordered 24-year-old Rivera, of Kissimmee, to wear the sandwich-board sign as a deterrent to other racers.
Rivera was arrested in June and convicted in November of fleeing and eluding deputies and resisting law enforcement without violence.
Along with losing his license and being placed on probation for three years, he has to wear the sign where he used to race at the Waterbridge Shopping Center (search) parking lot near the Florida Mall.
Rivera will wear the 2-foot-by-3-foot sign for 50 consecutive Sundays from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m., when other young people are out racing. He must also pay for the sign and attend a special driving school.
Rivera's attorney, Aramis Donell, said her client had some initial reservations about wearing the sandwich-board sign.
"There is a level of humiliation," Donell said. "But it beats going to the Department of Corrections."
