A bungling driver has been spotted after failing to unplug a charging cable attached to her electric car.
The woman was reportedly unaware of her mistake as she continued along a busy road with the cable and charging connector dangling from the side of her vehicle.
Footage filmed by motorists travelling behind her shows her driving along along with the charging equipment still trailing from its port.

The driver had apparently forgotten to unplug the cable before setting off from a charging station.
As the car pulled away, the cable was torn from the station and left to dangle in the wind, as reported by Need To Know.
Other motorists reportedly honked and gestured to warn her, but she appeared to mistake their actions for flirting and showed them her wedding ring.
They filmed the bizarre sight in the centre of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on 17 October.
According to local reports, the woman continued through junctions and along city streets without noticing the cable.
It’s unclear whether other drivers managed to alert her to the problem or whether the vehicle sustained any damage.
The incident has highlighted the potential risks of failing to disconnect an electric vehicle before driving from a charging point.
A trailing cable could damage the charging equipment and the vehicle’s charging port, while also potentially catching under a wheel or striking another vehicle.
