The hearing was told that in Moore's case, only 18 per cent of light could transmit through the front passenger window of his BMW 1 Series car when it was stopped by police near his home on April 1 this year.

He was fined and was also ordered to pay court costs and a victim services surcharge.

The total bill comes to £398.
