A Southampton man has been banned from the roads for drug driving.
Ryan Locke was driving a Mercedes C63 AMG with front window tints when he was stopped by police in Shirley High Street on February 1 2023.
Officers used a device to measure the amount of light passing through the windows. The figure recorded was 41 per cent - well below the legal minimum of 70 per cent.

He was charged with drug driving, driving without insurance, and driving a vehicle with insufficient transmission of light through the windows.
Appearing at Southampton Magistrates' Court, he was banned from driving for 12 months and fined £1,210.
