Driver flew by cops at ‘104mph’ on Glasgow’s M74 motorway

Road police say they spotted the motorists allegedly driving at over double the speed limit at Junction 1 (Kingston Interchange) on the busy road. Taking to social media to share the news, officers say the road users didn't take into account the speed limit, weather conditions, their marked cop car, and the force's ongoing speeding campaign. The driver has since been reported to the Procurator Fiscal.
