Range Rover stopped on M40 motorway for window tints

The white 4X4 was driving on the Watlington stretch of the motorway on Wednesday, April 1 when officers blue lighted him. Tests revealed the Range Rover's windows only let through six per cent of light, but the legal limit to let through is 70 per cent. Police said he was escorted off the motorway at the next junction and forced to rip off the tint in front of them.

Meanwhile, the driver of a Ford Transit van in Tiddington area of the M40 was also stopped for using a phone behind the wheel. He already had six points on his "ghost" UK licence for previous speeding offences and was hit with a ?500 on-the-spot cash fine. Another six points added means he will soon be disqualified from driving on UK roads.

Officers also pulled over a Toyota Yaris in Bicester's part of the M40 for a "document check". Police say the driver gave false details, but her true identity was quickly established. She was therefore reported for summons for driving on a revoked licence and driving without insurance.

She was arrested for drug driving following a positive roadside test for cocaine and the Yaris was seized and impounded.
