A 28-year-old motorist has been accused in court of driving on the M74 near Gretna in excess of 156 mph while being pursued by police.
Paul Robertson, from Donmouth Court, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, pleaded not guilty at Dumfries Sheriff Court to driving dangerously on December 4.
He is alleged to have attempted to drive out of the petrol station at Gretna Service against the flow of traffic and accelerated harshly away from a police vehicle in darkness.
He will face trial at the Dumfries Court next month.
