A new contender for Britain's worst road markings has been located in Scotland.
Motorists in Glasgow have been left dizzied by the wonky lines painted on one road.
The lines are so crooked that locals have questioned whether they are the work of a drunk.
One local said: "Some people found it funny, but it's just an example of someone not doing their job properly.
"People take pride in this area and the way these lines are painted just makes it look stupid."

One Facebook Charles Clark posted a photo of the lines after they appeared in Langlea Road and said: "Must be the worst line painting job in the UK."
Alastair Dick added: "A total disgrace, my wee niece could have done better."
James Kelly, a Labour MSP, who lives close by, said: "It's important that road markings are accurate so that they do not mislead drivers.

"There's a particular issue with how straight the markings are."
Gordon Mackay, Head of Roads and Transportation at South Lanarkshire Council, said: "Unfortunately in this instance the quality of workmanship does not appear to be up to our usual standard.
"The reasons for this will be investigated and addressed as necessary."
