A jilted husband deliberately crashed into his estranged wife’s car when it emerged she was seeing a new man just three weeks after their 24-year marriage ended.
Shocking footage shows Kevin Roberts, 40, unable to contain his anger as he hurtles down a road in Anglesey, North Wales, clipping the vehicle before driving off.
Caernarforn Crown Court heard the raging husband felt ‘betrayed’ by his school sweetheart Emma Roberts who he had five children with before their separation last year.
He later returned to the scene with one of his adult children to check on Ms Roberts’ well-being.
The court heard her car was damaged with Ms Roberts uninjured – though badly shaken.
In a statement she said the event had left her feeling ‘on edge’ and scared to drive.
Roberts, now of Enfield, London, admitted dangerous driving.
Defending, Dafydd Roberts said the breakdown of the couple’s long-term relationship was the ‘root cause’ of his behaviour.

‘He accepts his driving was very much out of order’, he said.
The court heard Roberts had since left the area and was caring for his terminally ill father.
Judge Nicola Jones handed Roberts a 10-month suspended jail sentence and restraining order banning him from contacting his wife for one year.
He was also handed a 12-month driving ban and ordered him to take an extended re-test.
Judge Jones told him: ‘This was a deliberate decision to ignore the rules of the road.’
But she said she would suspend Roberts’ sentence due to him showing ‘genuine remorse’.
