Workers were forced to tarmac around a car after a dopey driver forgot to move their motor \u2013 despite signs warning about resurfacing.<\/p>\n
The motorist was left red faced in Queen Street in Scarborough, North Yorks., after the work was done around their car.
Highway maintenance men decided to tarmac around the silver Vauxhall Corsa hatchback while the rest of the road was resurfaced on Thursday (5\/10).<\/p>\n
Pictures show the 2008 car parked opposite a large yellow sign, which clearly reads: “Surfacing works. No parking between 6pm and 6am.”<\/p>\n
However, their decision to ignore this led to embarrassment as the new black tarmac stops abruptly by the sign, only to continue about a yard beyond the car’s front bumper.<\/p>\n
Likewise, the Corsa found itself perched on a slab of old road, noticeable as it’s a far lighter colour than the rest of the street.<\/p>\n

They even threaded the safety tape round the car wing mirror. I can\u2019t wait to see the driver\u2019s face when they realise what an idiot they\u2019ve been.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/24\/590x\/secondary\/4997287.jpg?r=1696580789197\")
