Westminster Bridge Car parked in a bus lane sparks major security alert on

MPs told to keep away from the windows in the Commons Library and unable to access the Terrace.

All because someone decided to park their car on Westminster Bridge in a Bus Lane.

Well at least they kept the hazards on to warn busses on the danger.

Police have cleared and closed part of the Commons Library and Terrace after finding a suspicious package on Westminster Bridge.

The whole incident was not as it seemed. The driver just decided to park in a bus lane.
