Watch out cyclists here she comes!

Have you heard the one about the female American patrol officer who drove her police vehicle through wet concrete.

And then there is the one about the woman who mistook a street-level French subway entrance as a parking spot.

Now the Sunshine Coast has its own crazy driver story – complete with photographic evidence.

Caught in the wrong lane


It seems that a 28-year-old Kallangur woman became confused while attempting to drive onto the Maroochy River Bridge on April 9.

Main Roads contractors couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the woman drive onto the Godfreys Road bicycle ramp.

The woman continued to drive across the raised pedestrian footpath, which is separated from the actual traffic lanes by a guard rail to the other side of the bridge.

The workmen were able to take photos of the act through the passenger side window of their car as they followed the woman’s journey from the actual traffic lane across the bridge.

The woman, who works as a delivery driver for a pet transport service, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention on Tuesday and was fined $350 and a conviction was recorded.
