A Glasgow motorist has been caught by police driving along a city road with a sofa and armchairs piled on the roof.
The furniture was wedged above and below the open car boot and secured with just a few straps as the vehicle drove along the city’s Aikenhead Road.
Police stopped the car and said the motorist was given suitable advice “for the transport of couches in the future”.
Officers said that a 49-year-old man was reported to prosecutors in connection with the load and other alleged driving offences.
