Specsavers Van Driver Gets Stuck on Bollard, Ignoring Warning Sign
In a hilarious turn of events, a Specsavers van driver found themselves in a sticky situation after their vehicle became lodged on a bollard. The incident has left social media users in stitches, with many urging the driver to take heed of the written advice displayed on the van.
The stranded vehicle was accompanied by a warning sign that clearly stated, “Caution automatic bollards in operation. No parking.” Despite this clear instruction, the driver seemed to have missed the memo.
Aidan McNelis, who was visiting Edinburgh for the weekend, couldn’t believe his eyes when he stumbled upon the comical scene. “It was fantastic, I was delighted to come across it,” he shared. “I looked for damage, so I don’t think anyone could have gotten hurt. I’m sure there would have been an awkward conversation at work for the driver though!”
Adding to the irony, McNelis noticed that all the nearby bus stops were adorned with Specsavers adverts. “And then you see their van on a bollard… you couldn’t make it up,” he exclaimed.
The image of the mishap was shared on social media platform X by McNelis, accompanied by the caption, “Should have gone to… Oh, wait.” The post quickly gained traction, with users finding humor in the situation.
However, some skeptics have raised doubts about the incident. Specsavers’ marketing team is renowned for their quirky and humorous campaigns, often going viral on Twitter. Many online users suspect that this mishap may be an elaborate advertising stunt.
Regardless of whether it was a genuine mistake or a clever marketing ploy, one thing is for sure – this Specsavers van driver certainly should have paid more attention to the warning sign.
