Ferrari parked in a bus stop gets towed to laughter of rush hour commuters

Commuters heading home from work last night stopped and laughed as a Ferrari was removed from a busy London road after its driver parked in a bus stop.

When a parking truck pulled up by the stunning gleaming white car outside Waterloo train station it immediately drew a crowd of chuckling onlookers.

Many started to film as the Ferrari was quickly lifted onto the tow truck.

There was no sign of the driver as the vehicle was removed and taken to a nearby car pound.

One passerby said how they were just watching the high value sports car when the tow truck arrived to take it away.

They said: “I saw the Ferrari parked on the main road and stopped to admire it as it was such a stunning car.

“Then suddenly this tow truck arrived with flashing lights.

“The parking guy used his mini crane to lift the Ferrari and it was all done within two minutes."

The passer-by also suggested that the driver had stopped to pick someone up at the station.

“There was no sign of the Ferrari driver," they said. "He could have stopped to pick someone up from Waterloo train station so he would have got a real surprise when he returned to find that his pride and joy had disappeared.

"That will teach him to park in a bus stop."

The sight of sports cars being towed away have led the public to stop and stare in the past with stunned onlookers watching a limited edition Ferrari being removed from a London road, in February, 2018.

The Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta, one of only 499 made, was removed by a tow truck after appearing to have been blocking a road in Mayfair.

And a £260,000 Lamborghini Aventador came to the attention of police after it was seen being driven at high speed on the 30 mph A580 in Liverpool city centre in July, 2016.

Police stopped the 217mph supercar and said the motorist was driving without an appropriate driving licence and suspected of not having insurance.

The vehicle was then seized under the Road Traffic Act 1988.
