Verbal abuse from motorists

[Cycleops]

Welsh people seem to be better behaved than the rest of the country then as I never get verbal abuse in my part of the world. One example, Iast Tuesday in Conwy, I was filtering traffic on my left when a woman stepped out just in front of me. I avoided her and she couldn't apologise enough as I swerved round her. I must be lucky to live where I do.

It's true, according to this site on etiquette in Wales:

• Being polite is highly valued. Expect a lot of "please" and "thank you" and "sorry".
• The Welsh tend to be more indirect than overly direct. Being too blunt may be considered impolite in many situations.
• Pay attention to tone of voice and facial expression as it may be an indication of what is really being conveyed.

In 2.5 miles today I was verbally abused by three motorists all on an open road from the cars on the opposite side of the road WHY, not too sure if feeling are a wee bit high after the “Charlie Alliston Case”, but I have never experienced this before in my area, I hope this is not going to become a normal thing of the future.

This wasn't you was it?
