J13 north at Abingdon on ramp, and southbound at bottom of hill near clyde wind farm construction area 
!
I passed a marked BMW estate that had pulled a Mondeo tonight around half 5, near the wind farm area. !Edited by kiwifraser on Wednesday 25th May 17:06
Also spotted a BMW on the Dumfries and Galloway side this afternoon, presumably turning around at the next junction.
They seem to be out in force around J13 at the moment, as there was a marked BMW sat on the ramp on Sunday afternoon pointing a speed gun at traffic heading south, and there was an unmarked dark blue 5 series that had pulled some around J13-14 on sunday morning, again in the south direction.

It was a marked 5 series estate I saw checking cars, so likely the same one that pulled the Mondeo. I spoke to a friend tonight who drives an artic down the M74 each weekday afternoon. There has been marked cars with radar every night this week at J13. Also spotted a BMW on the Dumfries and Galloway side this afternoon, presumably turning around at the next junction.

Sounds like they must be running some sort of operation to catch folk heading south at speed?
It's certainly a new thing, as I rarely saw a police car that far south until these past few days!! They'll certainly be catching a few people out on that downhill section....
I've seen the scamera van parked on the bridge at J13 a number of times, but it's usually pointing south to catch folk heading towards Glasgow.

Speed is not an issue on the M74.
Aware of the road conditions and speeds of the cars that have been ticketed this week, are ye? 
100+ is not a problem.
Light traffic, good surface and excellent sightlines.

Let's hope the scamerati were ticketing for the good of road safety and not public purse...
