    The fact he turned around and pursued you is why this person needs a police visit. He needs a warning to save others. He has a mental health problem. Many many others would have punched his lights out. What acock. Shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. Name and shame him folks. MA17JYL

    1) Aggressive behaviour by MA17 JYL could amount to assault (you don't need physical contact to be charged with it).
    2) Changes to the Highway Code in recent years put a requirement on vehicles to give sufficient space to more vulnerable road users. In this case a motorcycle is a vulnerable road user and cars need to give adequate space and give way.
    Absolutely report him to the police.

      And this is part of why I went to Wells on holiday this year instead of ever going to Wales again. Mind you, I had to wait out a South Hams bin lorry in a downhill single track road for 5 minutes because he thought I should reverse my motorbike out of his way.....when he finally reversed the 30 yards to a passing point and rolled down his window I reminded him of two things. 1..if he could find reverse gear on my bike he could keep it....and 2...he needed to go to specsavers because even when I took my helmet off two yards in front of him he didnt recognise a fella that worked with him for four years. 🦮🧑‍🦯🤔

    Hi both, just watched your video and thought I would let you know of something that happened to us and the action we took. So we had a car driver do an overtake that was dangerous putting both of us at risk. We had caught it all on camera. After some research I discovered that North Wales Police ( and some other forces) do a scheme called Operation Snap. We submitted the footage and 1 week later we received an email from the police informing us that positive action had been taken The road rage, speed and behaviour is worth submitting. Even if it results in just an officer giving words of advice.

    He was OTT and rude but a devil's advocate would likely point out that you probably should have been more to the left and not blocking the road by riding towards the passing place on his side of the road waving at him to stop. If you'd both slowed to the left he could have dropped into that passing place on his side. Just my opinion. I hope you're both okay.

      Agree. There was no need for you to gesticulate to him and you were also too far to the right. Nevertheless he was obnoxious and bordering on violent. Best policy is not to react at all and keep your hands to yourself unless someone else actually causes a very near miss or actual contact. Do not provoke as it inevitably leads to road rage.

However, Rich, I do think you were in the wrong at your first encounter when you should have stopped on the side of the road and let him go by in the passing place rather than continuing straight toward him, thus forcing him to stop. Had you done this the whole scene would have been avoided.

    It’s difficult when you don’t know an area, local people know these roads like the back of their hand and I dare say there are some common practices on these roads of who goes where, on some of my roads that are similar I would have controlled the middle of the road then indicated to pull into the passing space myself to avoid the soft verge on the left, if you ever ride in the Rhondda please don’t gesture to anyone 🙏😅 as they might kick off😂, enjoy the rest of wales 👍

I live literally round the corner from that campsite. The Morrisons car park is always that busy as it is a free car park, and people use that instead of paying just over £1 to use the other ones around Abergavenny.

    I think you may have confused him by your Road position at the point you met. I think his point is that had you been to the left of the road then you could have passed without stopping or waving at him. The waving at him implies that he has done something wrong when your position was preventing him from going by.
