A man was left red faced when his Toyota Aygo was partially lifted into the air by two rising bollards in Cardiff city centre this week.
The car was pictured on Wednesday morning by Mike Leeson who took to social media to share the driver’s misfortune.
He wrote: “Oh dear. Not a great day for this chap in Cardiff.”
Meanwhile, another car was left damaged just days earlier but Cardiff council has said the rules are clear.
A council spokesman said: “There is a clear sign on the approach to all security bollards, advising motorists to stop their vehicle, only proceed when the green light shows and specifically not to tail-gate vehicles through the barrier.
“The bollards are designed to lower and rise out of the ground as quickly as possible to stop unauthorised vehicles driving through the security cordon.
“For the reasons clearly shown in the photographs, we would advise all motorists not to try to tail-gate authorised vehicles through these bollards.”
