THIS is the hilarious moment a woman drove onto a ferry after mistaking it for a bridge across the River Thames.
Sophie Montague described the rib-tickling moment she absent-mindedly drove directly onto a waiting ferry last Friday whilst on her morning commute.
The 28-year-old claims she boarded the ferry believing she had driven directly onto a bridge across the river, but was left surprised when she was met by a row of stationary cars.
Hilarity ensued as Sophie soon realised that she had in fact boarded the ferry to Woolwich – a free five-minute service that carries pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles across the Thames.
The hilarious footage shows a bemused Sophie sitting in her car and giggling as she realises her mistake.
She says: “I literally cannot cope with myself. I have tried to cross the River Thames on what I thought was a road and I have actually ended up on a ferry – like, I’m on a ferry.”
The camera pans to show the view from her car, where the white exterior of the ferry can be seen.
The platform is covered in an array of stationary vehicles.
She then says: “I’m on a ferry, I’m just trying to commute to work. I thought it was a road and I’m on a freaking ferry.”
She laughs and continues: “I just, I can’t even…how? Anyway, I’m going to go and enjoy my boat.”
The video then pans to the River Thames, where the boat can be seen mid-turn. Houses and buildings appear to get smaller as it gets further away from land.
She laughs, saying: “Waze really outdid itself this time, I’m literally on a boat. It actually feels like I’m drunk because everything is spinning.
“How did I do this, I’m on a f***ing boat! What?”
Sophie shared the hilarious video to social media on Friday with the caption: “Plain sailing”.
The video received over 100,000 likes and more than 1,300 comments from users who were left in stitches over Sophie’s blunder.
One person said: “I’m sorry but this has made my day. Defo something I’d do.”
Another wrote: “Um, how are you calm? I would be screaming, crying, throwing up.”
A third joked: “Enjoy Rotterdam. Bring us back some baked goods.”
A fourth added: “At that point just take a few days off and enjoy the journey.”
A fifth said: “Universe telling you to go on an adventure.”
