Daughter left Llandudno just before three o'clock and has arrived home in Liverpool just over three hours later - usually takes less than half that time.  Was not much fun with a screaming one-year-old wanting his feed.

Idiot ... seems to be a non-British plate SAJDEVA (or should it be SA10 EVA ?) but I cannot make out the country in the left-hand bit of the plate.

I think that 'S' plates are from Scotland, and the 'A' could be Aberdeen??

You would be correct in saying it is a Scottish plate if it was SA, but it doesn't look like a UK plate to me as it seems to be all letters SAJDEVA or has been doctored in some way if it is SA10 EVA or SA11 EVA, in which case the spacing is incorrect as well.  I cannot make out the country in the blue section left-hand of the number plate.

SA10EVA does not come up on the DVLA car check but SA11EVA does - it is a white Vauxhall!

Being a foreign visitor does not give an excuse for such driving, but could make it difficult for the Police to take action.

There was a cycle race on part of the A470  today and drivers just had to be patient and overtake the cyclist when it was safe to do so but all it would take is one impatient driver to cause carnage on the road.
On my way back from Maenan Abbey there was one such stupid driver in a  white Audi behind me and he overtook me on a short straight stretch that was approaching a bad bend and as he pulled in after overtaking me, two Police Cars travelling in the opposite direction and with their lights and sirens going came around the blind bend.
One second later then there would have been carnage on the road.
Another time if those Police cars had not been in  hot pursuit of something they would have turned around and caught up with him.
By the time I got to Bodnant, he was the car just in front of me!

I don't know whether it was part of the 30K cycle race or not but in Tal Y Bont yesterday on the other side of the river there was a collision between a car and a cyclist and the cyclist was taken to hospital by the air ambulance
I'm unaware of the extent of his injuries but those roads on both sides of the river are dangerous to cyclists and pedestrians alike

That's the one Steve, let's hope that the injuries are no too serious.

Thanks Bellringer, I've not heard any more about that accident so perhaps no news is good news?

Thanks very much for the update on the cyclist, it's a good job that he was wearing a helmet or the injuries may have been far worse.
When I saw the cycle race on Sunday I did fear for their safety on that dangerous road and there is no way on earth I would ride along that road.
The idiot who overtook me coming up to a blind bend nearly had a head on crash with a Police Car coming around the corner and equally there could have been a cyclist or pedestrian around the corner too.       &shake&
