Police have appealed for information to trace the drivers of four cars who were seen travelling at more than 140mph miles on the M74.

The vehicles were going southbound between Johnstonebridge and Ecclefechan at around 12:15 on Sunday.

A police patrol car observed the blue BMW M6, orange Nissan GTR, red Audi S5 and grey Porsche GT3 travelling in convoy at excessive speed.

Officers were unable to stop the cars. They urged witnesses to come forward.

Okay, who was it!

Am I the only one genuinely baffled as to where this thread has ended up?

As the OP I am a bit baffled too!

I dont think NSL applies to the M74, as it has a 70mph permanent limit and signage. special road designation and different legislation. might be wrong.

All motorways have a 70 sign not NSL, pretty sure that is correct, standby to be corrected.

I’m pretty certain that you’re wrong, I’ve only ever seen a 70 sign in one place on the A55 in North Wales and there’s an NSL sign either side of it. It’s not an A55(M) section, as the other roadsigns are still green, so I’m not sure what purpose it serves.

Nearly all Scottish motorways have 70mph signs. The only one I know of with NSL signs is the M80 extension.
