- I wonder what the owner or driver's motivation was to avoid naming themselves to the police? It's not as though he/she got any fewer points, and the fine was rather a lot more. I also wonder if he's a Posh Customs employee?

Really does show its quicker to cycle across London than to drive. The cycle lanes are looking really nice and joined up in that part of town. We could only dream of that up north.
Electric cars and cycling is the future
Same here in Kent
The road surfaces appear to be pothole-free as well.
Even quicker if you jump the reds
Will be quicker using an electric scooter once hopefully their use is legalised in March 2022
He was quite polite in all fairness. Still no excuse though.
Does it matter if someone politely kills you opposed to rudely killing you? People value politeness way too much. You will see someone advocating for the most disgusting thing, but in a polite manner and people will appreciate them, while they will go apeshit over someone being in the complete right, doing the right thing, being a hero ... but being rude while at it. Kinda ridiculous.
lol that’s a man who’s got a lot of 0’s in the bank account. Fancy car driving around Paddington and relaxed attitude ? No skin off his back lol
Literally sitting at red lights ur allowed
@@georgebackhurst4208No.
"It’s illegal to hold a phone or sat nav while driving or riding a motorcycle. [...] The law still applies to you if you’re:
stopped at traffic lights
queuing in traffic"
He had two legs , still no excuse though.
Thank you for your efforts. As a driver I appreciate you making us all safer, and encouraging people to be better drivers, and giving some of us consequences!
U beg
I’d love to meet your parents. The nicest and most balanced person I’ve ever witnessed. They done a bang up job and so have you to continue being that way.
Always keep fighting the good fight.
Sadly Mikey's dad was killed in a car accident many years ago. I wonder if that's partly why he does this?
Yes it is partly why and sadly some of the haters do bring it up and talk about it with a generally bad attitude
Seeing the fresh green foliage whilst in late december grey sleeping drab was nice. Roll on spring.
Happy solstice!
I live in a fairly rural part of the US and i've never seen stoplights for bikes. That's neat
They've installed them in London during lockdown. My only annoyance is that some of them are pointless, you have to stop for literally no reason
He literally wasn’t even bothered, for the average person it’s like being fined 50p ..
Steady on money bags, some of us can't even save that much a month.
6 points is 6 points. Say he’s already got one speeding conviction too. Another one of those will result in a ban. So will getting caught on his phone again.
@@paulannable3734 he will just pay someone to drive him, no loss
Of course all fines do ( to people who can easily afford them) is teach that you can indeed break the law…. For a price
@@girlsdrinkfeck looking at his driving and attitude its probably safer if someone does drive him maybe his nan or mum? someone a bit more sensible,mature and responsible.
Just love MIkey's POV. Scanning everything from number plates to phone use! Like The Terminator, or should I say The Mikeyator! :)
I don't know if I enjoy these videos or not, it's a bit scary how badly people drive and I'm genuinely scared for your safety doing these but it's addictive viewing and I'm so pleased that someone's doing all this stuff. Please stay safe.
If only we had enough police to be doing it for us.
whenever you see a driver at traffic lights looking down they are probably on there phone thinking they are hiding it the new normal
You see it on A roads and motorways too. It is always obvious that the driver is on the phone when the car is being driven too slowly and/or erratically. When you over-take them, you can see they are on their phones.
@@etiennedevignolles7538 that's why I hate cars with lane keeping tech. gives drivers yet another way to use phones while driving.
that matte black is fire tho haha
Yeah, it's a lovely car!
Mikey you do an amazing job, a big thank you on behalf of all the cyclists in London. Keep the good work and may 2022 be a great year for you
I'm glad that you have found happiness by doing this Mikey, keep up the great work! :)
Why no mention of the person riding the Santander hire bike that jumped a red 'cycles only' light and then turned left into a one way street against the flow of traffic from an ahead only lane. Gives all of us cyclists a bad name.
What could Mikey have done about it?
Let cyclist off as usual 🙄
despite those manoeuvres he was actually concentrating on riding ,still i'm glad you've mentioned him although this has been debated a million times
@@jcampbell145 he's not actually a cop, so what do you want him to do?
@@jcampbell145 Mikey has explained many times why he can't go after cyclists or motorbikes.
London is a strange place, for one of the world's biggest cities there appears to be nobody there, the place looks like one of those sci-fi films where a city has become a ghost town.
you've clearly never been to london. Or any major city for that matter. Since they're all the same in terms of the amount of people walking around...
It does anger me in that so many are doing it and think they can get away with it!
Is it really worth a WhatsApp death because that’s the risk they are taking! How would they feel... 🤨
Using a phone in traffic wouldn’t cause a death or serious injury. The real dangerous people that need catching are those using a mobile phone whilst moving
@@Spray_UK it will be the same people
@@Spray_UK I can guarantee if they are using it whilst stopped like we witness they are doing exactly the same whilst mobile...I’ve even seen it on the motorway at 80+ mph 🤨🤷🏼♂️
The smiling assassin pounces yet again. Great work Mikey👍
Could you imagine traffic cops on bikes actually doing this on a daily basis. The national debt would be paid off in 3 weeks 🤣
Well done. Thank you. Hope the people you have “caught “ this year mend their ways. Making the road slightly safer.
Andrew Gilbertson.
Of course they have "not" mended their ways, it's part of their selfish lifestyle; it would be like telling them not to breathe!
Besides, I love London. The architecture is fascinating and the gardens in it makes the city a real delight to walk it on foot.
I can see you're going to be busy when the highway code rules come in, keep up the good work and stay safe
What does six penalty points do to someone's insurance though?
enough points and their licence is banned for 6 months or longer
I’m told a single mobile phone conviction will roughly double your insurance at next renewal. Some companies will refuse to insure drivers with phone convictions. Failure to comply is taken much more seriously as it is effectively fraud/dishonesty. Or so I’m told.
@@CyclingMikey Hi Mikey what happens when a close pass a cyclists could that deprive the driver getting insured ? had a few close passes my self which have been reported and footage sent to the police.
Put it this way mate, insurance companies will try and find any dirt on you to make money. So 6 points is perfect, especially if your a super car owner, they will be already rubbing their hands together.
@@katcorot
That's not what you were asked dopey!
And a lovely colour blue Range Rover behind - WITH A TOTALLY ILLEGAL NUMBER PLATE....!!!!!
Arrogant ****, the way he just rolls into the ASL.
Look at the little kid at 2:50 on her pink scooter and silver helmet, so happy and with her whole life ahead of her. Now look again at those aholes driving full of arrogance as they don't give a F for anyone but themselves.
You’re a proper bleedin cockney incha?
OY OY!
next step is
LEEEEVE IT AAHHT!
Nice one Mikey
I stopped cycling in the UK because I no longer feel safe, heck, I don't feel safe in a car any more with idiots on their phones. Keep up the good work, Mikey!
Weird number plate placement as a sticker. Surely it being warped like that means it shouldn't be allowed. Would ANPR still catch it?
To be fair the ANPR managed to get a number plate from someones chest. So I'm sure it can read it from anywhere on a car
It wasn't even a numberplate just some dude walking in a bus lane with some letters and numbers on his shirt.
They don't even like you using plates with coloured boarders around the lettering, so i'm doubtful this would pass.
The only reasons I can think of for not nominating are 1) the driver is not licenced/already banned or 2) up to other criminal activity and willing to pay off the owner to take the rap.
Very impressed by those cycle lanes. Very well thought out. 😎 Good job as usual Mikey.
Did you also report the ASL violation?
What is an ASL violation?
@@etiennedevignolles7538 Advanced Stop Line.
Rule 178 in the highway code.
@@axolotol Merci 😀
blue range rover behind. has an illegal number plate
I do applaud what Mikey is doing - it could perhaps be suggested that it's up to all of us to see that the law is upheld - but might it be nice to see our police, whom I suggest most of us pay not an insignificant amount for, doing a bit more of this on a daily basis?
It might be nice for the police to have the resources to focus on such minor offences
@@altbergp1930 would be more in the public interest for the police to spend less time on diversity issues and deal with crimes that have real ramifications.
@@altbergp1930 minor!?, people die from these offences!
Absolutely right. It’s up to all citizens of our country to ensure that all laws are upheld. It amazes me when people caught by Mikey say “but you’re not the police”. What?? So if a citizen saw a person being attacked in the street he should think “oh well I’m not the police I’ll walk on by”. Absolute nonsense. We’re all here to protect each other and stopping idiots from potentially killing other road users is high on the list.
This guy seriously needs to get a life
He has one - his actions help save other people's lives. What do YOU do?
I know, driving around in a mercedes on his phone thinking he's god's gift - let's hope he gets a life and stops endangering others!
At least he was in good spirits about getting caught... I wonder how he feels now?
I still want to see repeat offenders get a 1 year phone ban
What? Why a phone ban? That makes no sense. They should get a car ban. If you ban someone from having a phone, you are completely ruining every aspect of their life. They can't get a job or keep their current one. They can't communicate with anyone, including companies that they're doing business with. A phone ban would be an insanely cruel and unusual punishment for a traffic offense.
I’m waiting for the day where he catches someone watching one of his videos behind the wheel 😂
LOL, that would be funny and sad all in one go. I did catch a dutch guy reading a Dutch newspaper article about me on his phone. I reported him and he apparently took an FPN. Gimme a sec, I dig out the link...
th-cam.com/video/uBmXK6qzmQI/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful car, but the design does make it look like he's compensating for something
happy holidays, cyclingmikey!
And to you, Sammy!
You must live a very sad life, you’ve nothing to do in your life but to check every car as you pass. You seem more concerned with what other people are doing and not what your doing .
I savour your salty tears like fine whine. Grass/snitch/snake are words used largely by children and criminals to intimidate normal good citizens from reporting criminal behaviour. Are you a child or a criminal or both? Why don't you want bad drivers being caught?
Who is sad? You're sad. You're crying salty tears because bad driving is being caught and punished. You're salty because you identify with criminal drivers. On the other hand, I'm fairly happy most of the time.
I'm not even in the top ten most prolific reporters in London.
Tens of thousands of cyclists run video cameras and will report bad driving around them. From now on you'll remember this conversation every time you see cyclists on the road, and you'll think about some of us filming you. Some of our cameras are very easy to see, like GoPros, and some are nearly impossible to spot. Have fun looking for cyclists' cameras on the road.
I suggest you drive properly around us all. Feel paranoid. Google your own number plates. Regularly.
@@CyclingMikey
Shame those tens of thousands of Red light jumping cyclist won’t get 3 points and a £60 fine . 🧐. Free rein to do as you please is our cycle mob.
Couple days ago I see in Richmond park, a cyclist slammed into the back of a Merc and went through the back windscreen . Don’t suppose he/she had insurance to pay the damage .
That car could be registered in any bodies name, I don't get this, they should be made to attend court, if not they are found in contempt, then given a custodial sentence.
They are basically sticking two fingers up at the system.
Mate you sound miserable asf just focus on your own life for goodness sake treating people like they murdered your parents 🤦♂️ just be grateful and mind your business it isn’t that deep!
@@freedomgang6062
Many innocent people have been killed because of selfish drivers on their phones.
We should have means tested fines like they do in Finland, this one would’ve been well into the 6 figures I reckon.
Also are those extra brake levers on the ends of your drops?
means tested , great idea.
So you want to punish success? Fines do not stop someone commiting a crime, the thought that you might get caught stops people commiting a crime.
@@davidknell9676 also means fewer people doing stupid things and rich people not being able to get away with doing whatever the hell they want just because they can afford the fines.
@@bigted1347 ahaha, punish success, I think you mean stopping rich people doing whatever the hell they want just because they can afford the fines and/or a chauffeur for when they lose their licences.
@@bigted1347 well to rich people fines teach them you can break the law… for a price
Seems a lot of people worry about the number plate, stick ons are fine and it dosent have to be in the centre either. If your going on about anpr, how does it work on motorcycles from the front?
Good job Mikey! 👍
I can’t believe how unaware this driver was, his window was open and Mikey was right beside him, he didn’t even acknowledge Mikey as say a cyclist pulling up to the lights or something, totally oblivious…. I can’t imagine being that unaware behind the wheel of a car.
in stop start traffic A2 to london i've seen people with a reading book on the steering wheel, cups of tea on the dashboard ,women doing their make up in the rear view mirror and a guy having a shave all whilst moving
Mikey could of robbed him at knifepoint! or threw acid in his face and he probably wouldn't even no it until it hit him!
@@carpediem19999 if mikey pulled a knife this guy would turn into sadd kolasinic and Mike would run away
Sod driving around there, the lane markings everywhere are insane for a guy like me who lives rural lol.
Not sure if the placement of the front licence plate on the Mercedes is legal. No doubt the police will look into it when they see the video footage
Stick on number plates definitely aren't legal
his one is legal seen so many like those my older cousin has one just like that on his lambo too
@@Alan-xxxxxx I might be wrong but at least on the UK they are if they comply with all the elements required on a regular plate
@@Alan-xxxxxx i think they are ok as long as the number plates are not (easily) removable. I think vinyl / stick-on plates qualify
No its not, the position is wrong.
wow the black merc driver was actually nice, never would have thought
thank you, it makes it safer for all of us
The car the arrogance the me don't care attitude because I'm special. how sad some of these people are who have no respect for laws.
Great work as always mikey 👏 happy new year to you fella
On a separate note did anyone notice the kid on her scooter nice to see her wearing a helmet obviously very resposible parents
Happy new year!
because so many of my generation died from not wearing helmets on their scooters and bikes , including my 30mph downhill off from my raleigh chopper, wait, we're alive
Sounds like your brakes need a check Mikey
Guy was pleasant in the exchange, probably a bit sheepish having been caught red-handed. At least it shows repentance, hopefully he learns his lesson
It shows that rules and fines are meaningless to the super-rich.
He probably didn't realise he was going to get reported to the Police.
The number plate of the merc is still highly illegal on the front. It needs to be centered so it can be read by cameras.
that was cool mikey
It's a shame that bad drivers get to drive cars as beautiful as this one.
When stopped at the lights( just before you commented on sloppy Lane holding of car drivers), why didn't you use the dedicated area at the lights for cyclists?
Listen to that 4L V8.... AHHHHH Gotta love it
Its clear London has immaculately maintained road surfaces and cohesive, well thought out cycle lanes. That’s great. Cyclists in the rest of the UK have to share their space with spine shattering pot holes and lunatic cycle skimming HGV drivers. I didn’t even know what a cycle lane was til I saw this video 😂
0:40 i don't think this guy realises how lucky he is. lol. He got spared by Mikey?!
The infamous blue bike ❤️❤️❤️
That driver has a funny set of balls.
Love the comments from behind from 'Speedy Whippet'. Happy Holidays Mikey!
Cool guy in the car, got to give it to him.
Mikey well done for this, if it saves anyones life then it is worth it. These idiots may think twice next time. You do it in such a polite way also which is great :)
Leaves me to wonder what Mikey would do about the high school cyclists in Japan who ride whilst holding an umbrella, texting on their phone, listening to music with earphones, and sometimes drinking a canned coffee all at the same time.
He really did love it when you stroked his ego. 😏
Nice catch
The number plates on the blue Range Rover directly behind the Merc are also illegal
What mount are u using for the rear camera?
It's a NUT-R axle mount.
And the blue car behind him - SHISHA Y or SH15 HAY should also get a ticket for dodgy letter spacing.
The disguised number plates are one of the most blatant yet least enforced driving crimes!
Why don’t you have any videos of cyclists jumping red lights and riding down the wrong side of the road 🤣
There have been many such incidents caught on his videos. Unfortunately nothing can be done about those people because as cyclists they don’t legally have to attach a number plate to their bicycle nor do they have to pay third party insurance in order to ride on the highway. In other words they’re a law unto themselves.
Sorry, but phone users are far worse in my eyes. They have no awareness whatsoever.
We won’t mention the cyclist that jumped the red light
I'm fine with police dealing with them, and I don't approve of their jumping the lights. The facts, however, show that it's not dangerous to others, and it's why police don't often deal with RLJing cyclists. Moreover, there's nothing I can do about it personally. If you want to see a classic example of the difference in danger posed by these RLJers, google "LN51 XNG" where you will see two lawbreakers, the driver being very dangerous, and the cyclist not at all.
@@CyclingMikey I believe all law breakers should be punished or better still it’d be great if we all obeyed the laws. Regardless of the lack of dangers you say the cyclists don’t impose they should still obey the laws. Then at least they could quote this fact to the car drivers. I could stand on any junction in London and film hundreds of cyclists jumping lights etc putting themselves in unnecessary danger. Lead by example cyclists 👍
@@BigbubbaJ1000 www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2019/05/10/cyclists-break-far-fewer-road-rules-than-motorists-finds-new-video-study/
Yes I agree, resently startely cycling myself.😀
Happy Christmas Mikey and a Merry New Year! Well done!
I think bike lanes separated from the cars like in Belgium, the Netherlands or Spain are more secure.
You mention sloppy.lane.holding Mike yet you didn't pull upto the line at that first unction nor use the cycle safety space. I know you don't have to use the safety space but it's safer to pull up.to.the line surely.
Its too wet up north. Cycles are really only used in the summer.
That guy having the front number plate sticker was still not legal. Reason being is that it curved around the side which means cameras can't properly capture it. It has to be fully visible from the front of the car.
They driving right now brother!
It's drivers like that who sit at green lights or roll forwards into other vehicles because they forget that they are stopping the vehicle due to being so focused on the phone. They also are the ones who accelerate into a stationary vehicle when they hear vehicles accelerate off next to them (right turn drivers).
Just today I was the 6th vehicle in a turn lane controlled by lights. The arrow went green and no movement for about 3 seconds from the first vehicle. He/she / it slowly took off and then did a u-turn. The 2nd vehicle went through as it turned orange (start of red stage) and the next 2 vehicles just ran the red light. Of course I stopped for the red as did the vehicle in front of me.
5 minutes later the light went greeen again to turn. The vehicle in front paused for about 1 second then slowly took off and performed a u-turn. I got through as quick as I could so I wouldn't hold up traffic and the 3rd vehicle was still busy being distracted and would have gone through on the orange / red.
You should come to Darlington mate!
Great to see `Mikey out there patrolling the capitals high roads, dishing up large dollops of schadenfreude for our delectation.
Do you hunt down cyclists that jump red lights, cut corners, don't signal etc... or do you turn a blind eye to that. You're just maybe not that much of a pedant only when it comes to people who inconvenience you.
How exactly is he supposed to report that to the police?
If the cycle lanes were that good everywhere even I would take up cycling
Your supposed to wait until the pedestrian crossing the road is on the zebra has completely finished crossing until you proceed ,it’s in the Highway Code Mikey, bad example there come on man
Eh? There is no zebra crossing in this video.
You should do what you do at Gandalf's Corner here (Westbourne Terrace/ Bishops Bridge Road). So many people use the middle lane to get ahead of traffic both going straight and turning left. In this video the council hadn't burnt out the markings but the middle lane is a clearly marked cycle lane now. The people doing it know exactly what they are doing, that they are breaking the law, driving in a dangerous manner and usually the worst offenders are the usual BMW, Audi, Merc and uber drivers
Doesn't he regularly make videos at that very corner? I am amazed people get offended when they are driving the wrong way!
Grand job Mikey 👍🏻🚴🏻♂️😁
Is that the number plate below his passenger-side headlight? That can't be legal, surely.
I wonder if there is anything in place stopping people from registering their car to a family member (without a licence), failing to comply and avoiding driving bans? If you've got money the fines aren't going to be a disincentive.
No, nothing at all.
I think I remember an MP was jailed for doing something similar.
I googled the reg plate and it says it’s the reg of a BMW? 🤔
Nice bike
Shifted his focus to the numberplate issue, rather than his initial concern, this shows to me personally that this is more of a wannabe Police officer game, rather than what initially was his goal of making the city a safer place for cyclists.
he's just pointing out yet another law the driver had broken...
Did u get the plate of the vw or u just targeting the nice cars 😂
Why are those pedestrians being made to wait at that beg button for so long at 2:48 there is a refuge island and the traffic has a red light! Bad urban planning!
I'm curious -- can they use the video to identify the driver? I mean, they're usually going to be insured to drive the car, and their license has their photo. It seems weird that the court can't prove who was driving when you've got crystal clear evidence for them.
Do they ever identify the individual via your videos or is it a technicality of the justice system?
The owner of the vehicle should get the points, unless they can notify the authorities who was borrowing their car
@@denverspin You mean the registered keeper?
I know this person and he never received a fine or points. Starting to think a lot of these “outcomes” are just pure shit
@@uplightuk8924 You know the driver? He may not be the owner, and we don't know which person in the chain of owner/responsible party/driver got the failure to comply fine. What I do know is that the Met sent me an email confirming that one of them got the failure to comply penalty.
@@uplightuk8924 The thing is someone can get the mail from the met and claim someone else was driving, so could even be your dad but he hasn't drove in 15 years, he could take the hit for it... While the one that was actually using his phone gets a second chance effectively.
Thank you for making our roads a little safer and have a very Happy Christmas
I've never seen this quality of road surface. I don't know whatbike riders from the UK are complaining about all the time? ;-p
Is it so wrong that I find it exciting watching Mikey cycling around looking for offenders.. If they ever need an armchair juror, you know where I am.
What was the little finger waving for Mikey? 🙈😂🤣
I forgot, I think someone either called out something or was driving with excessive revving to show his willy size.
@@CyclingMikey 🤣😂🤣😂
Good work mate. 👍👍👍
