I can't even fathom the level of stupidity and rage that went into such a maneuver. Up onto the sidewalk?!
One idea would be to start making people more aware of the penalties for such maneuvers and aggressively prosecuting them. Such a thing would surely qualify as reckless operation, which can be a felony conviction in some jurisdictions even if no one was harmed.

Isn't that what the process of going to the DMV is? A test of your patience and mental fortitude? I kid, but I really dislike this idea. It seems nearly impossible to objectively measure, and too prone to manipulation. I fear that it would end up being used as some sort of a modern day poll tax.
