Poetic justice was served in Kildare recently, when a man was caught racially abusing a member of staff at a petrol station in Naas.

According to An Garda Síochána Kildare, little did the man know that a Kildare Garda Sergeant was standing behind him as the abuse took place, with the sergeant quickly interceding on behalf of the staff member.

What transpired next, as An Garda Síochána Kildare stated, was nothing short of “karma”.

The offending gentleman's vehicle was neither taxed or insured, and he was also a disqualified driver.

In addition to each of the driving offences, the man also faces prosecution for the use of threatening, abusive and insulting behaviour in a public place.
