A motorist kicked the wing mirror off a taxi because he believed the taxi driver had been trying to deliberately cause an accident.

Frank White of Owenabue Drive, Carrigaline, Co Cork, had no previous convictions for causing criminal damage but he pleaded guilty to this charge yesterday at Cork District Court and paid compensation to the taxi driver.
