Yup, the single carriageway NSL for lorries changed (around April 2015, I think) from 40 to 50, but this change didn't take effect in Scotland for some reason.
Didn't realise this, but since few lorries (or vans for that matter) stick to the limit here ('cos there's little chance of meeting traffic cars on our roads any more)................Got overtaken by an extra long transit yesterday - I was doing 65 on single carriageway (yes, I confess) - but he was towing a double axle caravan at the time!
