Default Bubble screen legalities

It was mentioned to me by someone last night that the screen should have at least 45% visability through it is this true?

Can you get spot fined ala tinted visor or points?

Nope. At least not as far as MOTs are concerned.

What's a screen and what's a fairing.

Speed triples come with a "screen" which is totally opaque.

Oddly enough, those are the exact questions I was once asked when I rang Bennetts for a quote.

It's only your visor it applies to.
Screens don't matter it's not like your actually looking through it
