    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.

You're both tremendous ambassadors for Wales and all the countries that you travel through, but that bloke was clean off. He should be reported, if only for the fact that he had a face like a Nordic sock. I thought the way you handled the situation was exceptional -- well done. A masterful lesson in restraint. Safe travels and keep these great videos coming 🙂

    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.

    Well done Rich and Ewa. You kept yourselves calm and composed. I am sorry this idiot caused you so much grief. He is no ambassador for Wales. You were the better man. Please forward your footage to south wales police, as he could do this again and again? Me and my mum and dad, love your channel. I hope this experience hasn’t put you off Wales in its entirety. You are always welcome here in our home nation. Best wishes on your travels here, Matthew, Nigel and Andrea xx

    I think you may have confused him by your Road position at the point you met.

The waving at him implies that he has done something wrong when your position was preventing him from going by.
