Workers were forced to tarmac around a car on a street in Scarborough after a driver forgot to move their motor despite multiple warning signs about the resurfacing works.
The motorist was left red faced in Queen Street, Scarborough, after the work was done around the car in question. Work men decided to tarmac around the silver Vauxhall Corsa while the rest of the road was resurfaced on Thursday, October 5.
Pictures on the street show the car parked opposite a large yellow signs that reads: “Surfacing works. No parking between 6pm and 6am.”
One resident, Jordan Chambers, 35, said that signs notifying local of the work had been up for some time.
He said: “Someone obviously didn’t get the memo, either that or they parked with their eyes shut and didn’t read the sign opposite or wonder why no one else had parked on the road.
“The workmen turned up and tutted a bit but just cracked on.
“They even threaded the safety tape round the car wing mirror. I can’t wait to see the driver’s face when they realise what an idiot they’ve been.”
After resident Michael Curtis, 36, posted pictures of the car on the Scarborough Moan Facebook page, the driver was mercilessly mocked.

Another said: “Hardly takes a rocket scientist to realise the road was being resurfaced. Cones and warning sign clearly not enough of a hint for some people.”
One user said: “There’s always one! Lucky it didn’t get towed.”
However, the driver might not be lucky as one picture shows a traffic warden standing next to the stranded vehicle.
