Dozy drivers steer cars on to wet cement at Bathgate garage
TWO motorists were left counting the cost after their cars got stuck at a filling station after driving into a freshly cemented parking area.

The area at the BP garage on Edinburgh Road in Bathgate, West Lothian, was cordoned off, but one car drove through the tape and sank immediately into the wet cement.
Another car that followed the first one suffered the same fate and ended up deep in the fast-setting mixture.
Onlooker Steven Moncrieff said: “You should have seen the look on the driver’s face. The manager came out and didn’t look overly pleased.”

Mr Moncrieff, who uses the BP garage every day, said workers had been preparing the area for resurfacing for the last couple of days.
“It was taped and coned off but an older guy who had just filled up managed to drive through the tape and into the cement – closely followed by another car,” he said.
Customers using the garage were eventually able to pull one of the cars out, but the other remained firmly stuck in the cement.
