Gardaí summon their inner Jedi skills to catch driver out in Kilkenny
Kilkenny driver now awaiting 'a date with the courts'
Gardaí have taken to social media to share details of a recent encounter with a motorist in North Kilkenny, with a very Star Wars twist.
"One of our lads was out using laser technology in Johnstown this morning," a garda spokesperson said.
"Unlike a Jedi with a light sabre, our member was using the laser speed gun to detect a driver doing 80kmh in a 50, hardly light speed you might say, but adding the fact that the driver was uninsured means a date with the courts.
"Using a tow wagon instead of a tractor beam allowed the unauthorised vessel be brought into our custody."
