I normally take it as meaning 70ish. However, a couple of years ago a Friend of a Friend got nicked for doing 70 mph on the A74 on the way up to Glasgow. He was driving a minibus and that meant that the limit was 60 mph instead. I'd never heard of this, but then I don't drive minibuses very often. Is this an urban legend or a Scottish interpretation of the law ? Andrew Henry
