The ambulance is a prime example of why not to be on your phone even when stopped. You need to pay attention at all times. I loved the chuckle from the Pimlico plumber.
Haters gonna hate, but one by one, they're picking up the points that tell them it's illegal to handle their phone behind the wheel. Still plenty of fish in the sea though. It's reported that Dorset Police recently borrowed one of the Operation Tramline wagons and in three days caught 120 people committing driving offences. So many fish in the sea!
Because it’s a crime, and it’s a fact that it’s a dangerous crime that can have fatal consequences. Even using a phone whilst stationary in a traffic queue is dangerous. These are facts with evidenced research that Mikey regularly posts in the comments. [edit: I just realised that this comment may be perceived as a criticism of the comment to which I am replying. It’s not!]

This driver seemed totally ignorant of Rule 110 Con & Use ‘86! Such drivers are among the four most common causes of fatal collisions! (Fatal Four:- Speeding, Drink/Drug Driving, Mobile Phones & No Seatbelt, [Drink & Drug driving sometimes separated into separate areas by some making Fatal Five]). Not only does a fatal collision cost a life, but the long road closures caused result in many other lives being adversely affected:- just traffic delays you may think, but no! The officers manning the closures could be out there ‘chasing real criminals’, you know, that popular retort by some childish drivers to an officer challenging them on their poor/dangerous driving! I’ve known it where an entire local Police Response Team were tied up for their entire shift because someone thought they were a great driver when actually they ended up killing by not looking properly. Next time you’re moaning about Police response times, just think, “Are they too busy cos some idiot killed someone for a text??”
"Why would you go, why wouldn't you leave space for someone to come through?" Proceeds to do the same thing to ensure your own agenda of policing the roads is a success. 😂
@@philyoung1 I didn't impede the ambo, I waited until it was safe and clear to filter, and then I filtered on. Perfectly normal considerate cycling. I saw the ambo would need more space, and that's why I didn't filter, but the two motorcyclists did and I think they should've waited like I did, until the ambo was clear.
@@CyclingMikey I suggest you take another look. Particularly from 2.29. You were riding in the right hand lane in front of incoming traffic. If you want to be vigilant, you shouldn't commit offences. Simple as that as far as I'm concerned.
That stretch of road (Chelsea Embankment) between Albert Bridge and Chelsea Bridge *(East bound)* is slightly dodgy as there are cars parked along that side asthere are residences and its busy. I just divert over Albert Bridge and go through Battersea Park instead then back over Chelsea Bridge and rejoin and continue along Grosvenor Road.
I drive down there a couple times a week, and even I find the traffic lights not particularly clear. It’s like they want a big truck to barrel round the corner crushing all the crossing pedestrians.
You used to get told what happened specifically from the reports? But recently never? Have you noticed that change? It’s a worry they could just be ignoring them!
@@CyclingMikey He was a cool dude. At first I thought he might be a reporter shadowing you. Even better that he was just a random all-round decent bloke.
Please DYOR but I believe if you are pushing it and not straddling and paddling it (pushing walking to one side of it), not obstructing pedestrians and the engine is off you should be able to. Lot of effort though depending on the bike, depends on the situation I guess.
@@kungfutuber Thant's my understanding, too. There are some real oddities, such as you can't ride across the pavement from the road to your own house, if you need to cross the pavement to park, but you can push you motorbike to do the same if it's off. If it's off then it's not different to a wheel barrow. Might be ok for a small bike, but a job if it's big!
@@stco2426 This one does make sense to me as you'd then technically be riding (or driving) on the pavement which is not permitted. The exception to this would be using a purposely added dropped curb/vehicle crossover to cross the pavement and access a property/driveway, where then it would be reasonably expected by pedestrians. I imagine this would be the same for cyclists too. Indeed, pushing a moped is one thing but something like a Harley would become a bit of a pain... 😅
Ambulance trying to save lives and the selfish driver is more interested in his phone.
TBF I was moaning about the filtering motorcycles not waiting for the ambo, not the van driver who had put his phone away by then.
Unreal, does not understand why he should be reported and waving it around in your face Mikey
I think that is the problem. People expect only to be caught by the police and they are too busy kicking down doors for Internet comments.
Driver doesn't know why his dangerous and unlawful use of a mobile device has to be reported? 🤨
Fortunately Cycling Mikey does.......👍

@@clairewiseman-cq8ctdon’t worry about that either, we won’t be able to afford cars soon.
Looks like this will never stop, need a complete ban,no excuses, thanks Mikey

wdym a ban it's literally already illegal lmao
Cheers Mikey Haven't Seen This Route Since I Was 18, I Worked There For Three Years as an apprentice Carpenter Working on
J Sainsbury's House.

It looked like he was still on the phone when you passed the second time.

Good catch Mikey 👍👍👍
I will have to report it to the police.......why
Because it's illegal you dumbo

@Innesb
I wasn't asking the question why! I was referring to the drivers stupid comment!
we need cycling mike in every uk town so many people on phones
I have to report it to the police Mikey says. He asked why. He will soon find out. 😆
Keep up the good work mikey !!!
You gotta do a Livestream, that would be awesome
That, is what we may refer to as, clinically thick.
There’s not many who wave the Bleedin trombone at ya ffs 😂
Deffo been here 5 mins 😂
you are an angel sent from god to protect us, mikey - and to punish those who would cause us harm.
Hah! Thank you, but I'm just an ordinary leg end, nothing special.

They were impeding the ambulance, and I was not.
@@CyclingMikey seriously? That's your rationale? I'll leave you to it...

You were riding on the wrong side of the road hindering vehicles using it and putting yourself and potentially them in danger.

Waved the phone around for a great video evidence.
Nice positioning there, Mikey, don’t want to get pushed into those railings 👍.
Thank you
Absolute hellish nightmare cycling on London’s roads. I used to a decade ago, doesn’t look any better.

Looks up. Sees Mikey. Heart sinks.
I drive down there a couple times a week, and even I find the traffic lights not particularly clear. It’s like they want a big truck to barrel round the corner crushing all the crossing pedestrians.
Sadly many people have lost their lives at this location
"are often called the Royal Borough of Killing Children" I don't think that's really true 😂

Good question.
Hook, line and sinker....not familiar with you being on the bridge, CM....now he knows!!
Maybe you should change the thumbnail to the guy on his phone in the grey van?
I could do, but that cyclist was super cool and the best part of the video. :)
@@CyclingMikey He was a cool dude. At first I thought he might be a reporter shadowing you. Even better that he was just a random all-round decent bloke.
Can motorcycles do the same thing as cycles by "walking across"? Curious to know
I'm not sure, but probably not as they are a different class of vehicle. Mostly, it'd be pretty impractical though.

PIMLICO VAN SPOTTING. TWICE.
Good point , drivers should not be on phone , alot of them lost and stupid , also cyclists dont race into danger 👍
Double standards he rides on the pavement but judges all other.
Another one that thinks it’s okay 👍🧌🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
This is gonna get clipped on social media "MIKEY FILMS HIMSELF RIDING ON PAVEMENT" i'd bet my life savings on it.
He kinda did though 😂
@@kh894 He was pushing his bike dismounted
Michael van eyke ya are a nob!!!!
Why was Mikey and the other cyclist was riding on walking pavement? So dangerous
They weren't.
We were both walking, pushing the bike, you harami.
Lol. Not the gotcha you thought it was, eh?
Cycling Mikey OBE for services to road safety 👍 💪
Snitch!!!
Criminal!!!
Don't call the police if you have an emergency you would be painting the kettle black.
@adgepeterb
Grow up!!!
You are the scum of the earth@@CyclingMikey
Calling someone a snitch is something children or childish criminals do. I'll leave that to you to clarify.
😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍 And that w⚓ has the ball to ask WHY ?
