Jimmy Mulville Not So Funny Now - LJ11GJK Aston Martin Rapide

  • This one was in the papers. James Mulville was convicted at City of London Magistrates court on 25/05/2023, of an endorseable mobile phone driving offence, and was given 6 penalty points on his licence, bringing his current total to 9 points. Fine was £1,000, costs of £625, and surcharge of £400. Funnily enough, I caught this exact car/plate in January 2019, and the driver then took an FPN for 6 points and £200. I will never know who that driver was, but it turns out that Jimmy Mulville was disqualified in 2020. I can't help thinking it was him I caught in 2019 also, but it may well be a different driver. There was at least one V5C logbook change according to the DVLA record.

    Well, James Mulville, now you're just 3 points from another disqualification. That's a single speeding or red light jump offence, or another mobile phone offence. There are thousands of people with cameras in London, so the chances of being caught again are more substantial than many drivers imagine. I don't want you punished, I only want behaviour change and better driving from you. It seems to me that in your case even punishment is not making the necessary difference in your driving. Nevertheless, I hold out hope that you might change and improve.

    For whatever reason, sunny days like this seem to make for an explosion of bad driving and phone use in my experience.

    If they made the penalty an immediate 12 month ban, the fine equal to the value of the car, and the car seized and crushed, you watch the phone use stop. The trouble, as with most crimes in the UK, is that the punishment is too lenient.

    • @geoffpoole483
      @geoffpoole483 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I'm with you on that. When a motorist has clocked up 12 points and is facing a ban, the courts look at the "hardship factor" as in will the person be able to get to work, elderly relatives, all the sob story stuff. Anyone with 9 points needs to take a serious look at their driving and immediate bans should be introduced. Actions have consequences.

    • @halfbakedproductions7887
      @halfbakedproductions7887 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@geoffpoole483 The "hardship factor" isn't greeted so warmly these days. A lot of judges aren't persuaded in that regard and quite rightly take the posiion of (paraphrased) "You should have thought of all of that before you deliberately drove like a total pillock". Quite right too.
      I also think that totting up should be considered over a cumulative lifetime, rather than active points. Someone can get 3 points here, 6 points there, it all expires, another 6 points, those expire, 3 points somewhere else, those expire... and it goes on forever. They're allowed to continue driving because they never hit the threshold of currently active points to trigger a ban. I think that is something worth looking at also.

      ​@@CyclingMikey shocking that a barrister thought that they could argue a family emergency qualifies as the emergency use exception. Similar to the arguement the lad in his works van tried to pull a few videos back (he claimed to be responding to an emergency text from work, and was then shocked when he found out that he had
      admitted guilt and that was the end of his trial).
      My understanding is that the emergency use was well established as meaning use to contact the emergency services; and regardless, the wording was clear that even that would be an unacceptable excuse if it was reasonable to stop to make that contact. So IF that barrister was going to attempt to argue that there was a family emergency and it would have been unreasonable for the driver to stop in order to deal with it, he really should hang his head in shame.

      @@CyclingMikey Am I correct in thinking that still isn't a valid 'get-out' for dangerous driving? Call 999 if there is an emergency. Otherwise you just add to the danger. I would suggest that, if it's something serious enough to warrant reading a text and replying while driving, it is worrying enough that it would distract you even more than the actual message. He'd be so worried about his family... And he wouldn't need to reply by text. He could call hands-free and say "message received, on my way, call 999" etc.
      But it doesn't add up. Why would you delay driving home for this emergency, sitting stationary on a road, messaging, while your family was in desperate need of you? I can't see any scenario where you'd be required to solve an emergency by text and it couldn't wait. Worst case scenario - say your toddler is calling because your wife has stopped breathing - engine off, hazard lights on, get out of the car and take the call. There is no scenario where it's ok to text, veer from side-to-side, and then zoom off at speed. I'm glad they didn't accept that nonsense.
      I'm also curious; if the court had entertained that defence "I was texting in an emergency", surely the defendant has to BE THERE to say that? They need to be available to be questioned about the emergency and all of the details. It just sounds like an exercise in time-wasting. Maybe they were hoping you'd be incoherent and flustered or angry. But even then your camera caught that behaviour and it was clearly not influenced by you. It's there for the court to see and there is no justification. Ramble over. Lol.

      Most drivers caught drunk-driving aren't a second away from ploughing into a pedestrian. But it's best to catch them doing the thing that causes the bad stuff *before* they do the bad stuff. People using phones aren't aware and are driving poorly by definition. Swerving all over the road is an extreme example but many of the people in these videos are completely oblivious that Mikey is even there. A lack of awareness, 100% distraction interspersed with small bursts of movement without checking their surroundings - that's dangerous, poor driving.

    People don’t really have an argument in regards to stationary drivers using phones. A line needs to be drawn somewhere so that the law is 100% clear to everybody.
    If it was Ok to use a phone in stationary traffic, they would then say “well it’s ok to use it and edge forward….it’s ok to use it if moving slowly” and it would keep going like that etc.

  • @eddhobday

    Clearly this first ban did nothing to change his behaviour so what the justice system thinks some extra points on his licence will do now is anyone's guess. Being caught for the same offence so soon after the first ban should be an instant second ban, but significantly longer.
    Also a disgrace he didn't turn up himself. Shouldn't be allowed to get away with that either. Thinks his time is more valuable than everyone else's.

    Good catch, Mikey. And good call moving over later. I wouldn't want to be on a road with him. That initial move would have taken you out if you'd been on his left and then taken out a motorbike passing on the right as he corrected at speed. I'm glad he received some consequences, and I feel you're right that the publicity might finally start to give the guy a message.
    I've seen things in the press lately where people are complaining that other people's behaviour has caused damage to their reputation... As if the person who reported a crime or deception was at fault, rather than the criminal/liar. If showing the truth of how someone behaves causes others to have a bad opinion of them, the behaviour was wrong, not the reporting of the behaviour. Some people just refuse to take responsibility for their own behaviour or the consequences of it. This sort of result goes some way to fixing that as it's the only language some people understand.
    Thanks, Mikey.
