    Beware!!!

    Got a prosecution in today for doing 80 on a 70 motorway (M74). I was driving from Manchester to Glasgow last Thursday and set cruise control to 80. Doesn't everyone do 80 on the motorway? C'mon, is this not a bit harsh? And there was I thinking I was being really responsible at sticking to 80.
