Disqualified - Fresh from Court and Chat with Nice Cabbie V2UFU

- Is me or is this numberplate super rude? V to you, F you? This was filmed on the day before the law change in March 2022, and in this case the Bentley driver was clearly engaged in interactive communication, whilst the cabbie was not, at least not whilst I filmed him. The Bentley driver was given a 6 month disqualification, and was told by the magistrate that he would have to apply for a new licence to the DVLA at the end of the six months, and that he could not drive until he had the licence in his hands.

From a Bentley to a bus. Not so cocky now is he. Well done Micky 👍
😂🎉
He'll just hire a driver (if he's really a rich lawyer) and get his accountant to somehow tax deduct it.
I remember about 30 years ago there was a guy who lost his licence (drink driving / excessive points etc) and he was actually hiring a local to drive him around (on call). By using his own car he would only be paying the other guy basic minimum wage or maybe even an agreed cash in hand by the hour.
@@roadmonitoroz Still an inconvenience for him . His freedom is now gone .
You are all sad creatures hahaha
Hahahaha so awesome and all thanks to Mikey. He does an awesome job getting this kind of cellphone zombies off the roads.
a lawyer driving a bentley is probably earning enough to pay an accountant to make it look like he's less well off than he really is
He probably takes dividends so makes his ‘income’ look small, whilst turnover for his company remains high (which he can take out loans against)
Then again it could all be just for show…trying to look like the big I am. Old Bentley, probably not a lawyer either. With his attitude and language he’s a gutter rat !
And can thus pay for taxis everywhere - so not much punishment. Taxis will likely be less than the running costs of that car! The law is crazy - I have little confidence in it. The rich especially escape easily.
Yes Ive done this lol
Speaking as an accountant, of course he is.
I've noticed an extremely strong correlation between narcissism and having a personalised number plate.
or a bentley
Not necessarily.
ABSOLUTELY. That and expensive cars.
I have private number plates so I can remember what the heck they are...
Nightmare when you have six vehicles to maintain, insure & tax
There’s a reason they call them vanity plates in the US
If he really is a lawyer, a notification to the law society might also be appropriate. Public disregard for the law and the threat of violence must surely bring the profession into disrepute.
absolutely this
The law society should be proactive instead of waiting for someone to tell them about it.
Yup, this. That contemptible piece of shit must suffer!
He really isn’t a lawyer can’t believe everything you see or get told
@Gordon Gekko he probably is an attorney. All the best regards to you 🙏
What an obnoxious man. His number plate and his threat and hid disregards for the law says it all. Well done, Mikey you could not have caught a better person
Should try get him disbarred
A lot of arrogant people out there including those in nice cars. Hate obnoxious plates like that too. Think FU is back to him 😂. I once had a guy speeding down the empty bus lane and cut in front of me with an obnoxious plate saying 2secc c.
Agreed on all of your points!
Agreed, what a fool. At least he took his punishment eventually
Well said, number plate said it all, nothing more to say……
I wouldn't be surprised if the first driver carries on driving even while disqualified, he did think he was above the law.
Hopefully he'll get caught if he does and get to spend some sacred time in one of his majesty's establishments
@@Matthew-bu7fgUnlikely, although I'd support that.
Mikey, dont feel any pain or regret in doing what you do. You have probably saved the anguish of a parent or other family member being told that their loved one has been killed while innocently crossing the road by one of these entitled cretins using their phone while driving.
Keep up the good work. We are all behind you.
What a nice guy.
Breaks the law and then physically threatens you.
He showed no remorse whatsoever.
Not much of a lawyer either if he thinks it's acceptable to make violent threats.
@@Larry who tf asked??
@@michaelnora155 Who tf asked for you to ask?
He's not a lawyer
That made my day knowing he got banned. So much for being a lawyer, not a very good one that's for sure. Well done Mikey.
He's not a lawyer
He was talking real big for a man who had points already 😭 how embarrassing
Ego
He is talking really big for someone with that ridiculous hair
You guys make it personal for no reason. It’s inappropriate for adults.
Exactly! I have points on my license so choose not to talk big to anyone!
@@justanotherguy4339His hair isn't the issue dude, don't stoop to his level.
Being called “old boy” probably hurt him more than the ban. Beautiful job Mikey 👍🏼
Well done Mikey my father was killed on the road by a dangerous driver....so many thanks
Mine too - when I was 19, by a drink driver. My sympathies and condolencees.
Reading what this driver's punishment was absolutely made my day ❤️
His number plate is also illegal, should have been fined £1000 for re-arranging his plate - V2 UFU
@@yeldaRooBTKAMThe car would fail its MOT without a space between the numbers and the three letters at the end.
That was one of the most satisfying cases you've bought to the attention of the courts. His attitude towards you and what he knows he was doing wrong was contempt personified. Perhaps he'd been sacked due to his actions and thats why the fine was small compared to other cases you've overseen? Keep up the good work.
He'll ignore the ban. His self-entitlement gene will insist he carries on driving.
Can’t say I’d want this individual as my lawyer.
My cat wouldn't
If he is actually a lawyer, he is an inept one.
Thank you for all your work! :) So nice to have you reflect on the sentence and feel compassionate for the people.
A well deserved punishment, the guy wasn't just using a phone he was also an assho.
No really. Should be 12 months ban and £500 fine.
Sadly, the latter isn't against the law - although we all often wish it was!
Always enjoy watching them try to scurry away in traffic 😂
This could have been the most satisfying Mikey video ever, were it not for the very strong possibility that someone who can afford to drive a Bentley almost certainly has more income than whatever he declared in order to get such a paltry fine. Surely the legal system has the means to investigate such things?
In situations like that they should take the cost of the car and other assets into consideration and they pawn them off if you can’t pay.
They have the means to investigate, but that doesn't mean they employ those means. They would have to schedule the sentencing for another day to get a pre-sentence report. They would much rather just get it over with. The disqualification is the important thing, anyway.
Good work Mikey!!!!! It turns out my sudden drop in NIPs a couple of months back was due to changing from an editor that used a x264 codec to one that uses x265 which apparently can't be viewed by MPS!!! So if anyone else finds no action is taken on a submission in which it likely should have worth checking which codec is used in the editor (eg by viewing video in VLC and checking codec information). If it's x265 it's unlikely it'll be acted on. Normal service has now resumed since reverting to x264......
Yes, I was advised to use H.264 codecs a while ago by the TORs team - they should really have advised you also. Bit lazy/remiss of them.
@@CyclingMikey They asked me to do a manual Box submission for one because the video was "empty" but I didn't twig and just assumed an isolated technical issue with the website. Oh well, the ones that get away are all the sweeter the next time :) I'm surprised the Bentley driver didn't get done for section 4 of public order offence.....
How do you submit them? I sumbitted a car driving along the pavement to MPS online report and all I got was an auto response saying basically "if you don't hear anything soon, we haven't done anything about it". Which they didn't!
@@CyclingMikey What's lazy of them (or of their IT people) is to not be able to handle the codecs used by all mainstream video capturing devices. It's not rocket science. And they normally prefer unedited, original footage. The moment you process it in some way, it's no longer "original".
I also noticed a drop in NIPs lately. Checking my GoPro footage, it says it's using an H.265 codec, but oddly a report I made on 3rd November 2022 (NIP issued 11th November) was using an H.265 codec so perhaps they've resolved the issue?
I’ve been watching your videos for several months, always enjoy the interactions especially as you’re always polite and determined. I ignore all mobile phone interruptions when driving, thanks to you highlighting the potential consequences. Keep up the good work Mikey.
Fantastisch werk Mike. Blij te zien dat er wat gedaan word aan die mensen die denken dat het niks uitmaakt als je je telefoon gebruikt achter het stuur. Dank je wel Rene
Who would want a lawyer like that representing them?
Criminal ones?
@@k-rj740 they'd want a lawyer who has the skill in court to get hem off. The guy didn't even try a hardship reduction.
Trump might be interested
The drivers attitude mirrors his reg.number.
I noticed that. What an arrogant clown.
Was it "TW4T 1"?
The Cabbie and that interaction - clearly a man that knew he was doing wrong, but very respectful at the least!
A wholesome interaction and a very thought-provoking discussion!
That Bentley driver though - what a swine!
Keep up the good work Mikey!
At least now he'll be able to use his phone as much as he wants......on the bus!
Well done Mikey. The fact the 'lawyer' already had 6 points on his licence shows his blatant disregard for the law.
Maybe he’s a criminal lawyer? 😉
Brilliant the Arrogance, the ludicrously expensive car, the threats, followed closely by a Ban, im surprised he didn't plea hardship, should have been a longer ban and bigger find tho.
I thought he did plea for hardship at 2:22 and Mikey qualifies the comment by saying he obviously is not on a big income at the moment
Fair play to you for feeling any sorrow towards him.
I'd say he deserves far heftier punishment.
4:44 that was so nice to see your human side Mikey, much
Mikey, karma does exist. you couldn't a found a more deserving driver, well done.
You're doing the right thing. Keep up the hard work.
Miss spaced registration number plate also, so that's another 3 points
I was thinking about the invisible seat belt too.
@@Climpus He was wearing a seatbelt.
It's £100 fine but no points for number plate offences
@@georgebarnes8163 Can you please give us a time-stamp where it can be seen?
Well done Mikey, the result is right so don’t feel bad that he got disqualified. No crime, no punishment.
He already had six points.
He got off lightly, short ban , small fine.
Well done Mikey, keep up the great work.
Hi Micky it didn't seem fair not reporting the Taxi driver I thought we are all equal under the law.
As Mikey explained, under the law in force at the time of recording, there had to be evidence of interactive communication. That wasn't the case foe the taxi driver.
That law has now been updated to include all phone use.
The attitude the first guy had should get him disqualified,well done Mikey stay safe.👍👍
If he’s a lawyer then he should also know that having an illegal registration plate on your car is a criminal offence .
Result! Arrogant man driving a Bentley on the phone -potential murderer. Well done Mikey.
Well done I'm with you on this.
Great job Mikey. Don’t feel sorry for him for a second.
Good going, Mikey. I have a feeling that the 'attorney' is going to watch his mouth in the future. Thank you for your efforts. All the best regards to you 🙏
What an appropriate number plate.
“I’m a lawyer so therefore I don’t need to follow the law” amazing human being.
Don't feel bad about it, Mikey. He had his roof down. He *wanted* to be seen!
With what appear to be dash style cameras all around his car.
@@WhiteDieselShed Indeed. I can easily see him as one of those self-righteous dashcam channel contributors (usually designated a COTW) whose own footage shows them breaking more laws than those they think they're shaming by sending it in!
Oh, double LOL!!! BUT be mindful please, its not always the case. I drive a hard top Mercedes Brabus SLK and I do not like attracting attention even with the top down. I drive it because I literally love the car and it's McLaren SLR body styling. I worked hard to get it and it took me years to afford it. I am a bit of an introvert. That guy was just an ignorant, arrogant pig and a show off! He got what he deserved.
I heard him before I saw him
"I'm a lawyer with an expensive car, I'm clearly above the law mate" - that guy probably
Nice one Mikey....love the follow ups.
Another one bites the dust 😂 well done man
Well Done Mikey! We are all proud of you!
Arrogant driver also not wearing a seatbelt.
You're our hero MIkey, keep up the good work.
Well done Mikey, keep up the good work!
Well done miky great one
Keep safe
Great work 👏🏼
I am not a solicitor and offer no legal advise - but just for interest I remembered The Solicitors Act 1974 - Section 21
Unqualified person not to pretend to be a solicitor
Any unqualified person who wilfully pretends to be, or takes or uses any name, title, addition or description implying that he is, qualified or recognised by law as qualified to act as a solicitor shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £50.
I thought this would be grounds for verbal assault
Awesome stuff Mikey!
You're a top man Mikey
Someone has to do this if the Law won't.
Ignore the hatred, they're the one doing this and worse.
The plate said all we needed to see🤷🏼♀️
thank you from Canada Mikey!
The phrase, 'arrogant tosser' springs readily to mind as I watch this. I'm glad he's off the road.
Keep up the good work. 👍
I'm worried that the frequent sight of someone looking down at their phone while driving will just be replaced with looking at a smart watch. I hope the new law tackles this.
Is a smart watch a hand-held device?
Good work!
Mikey thanks for saving the road users from this hair style
no seat belt either I hope they slapped him for that too. Good result Mikey.
As a convertible don't they have a lap belt of some sort as there is no fixing post?
@@RonSeymour1 It'll still have a 3 point belt. The shoulder part just emerges from lower down where the B pillar would be on a saloon.
@@RonSeymour1 I've owned several convertibles and they have all had full seatbelts.
You do a great job Mikey and you're very laid back - Great Work and be Lucky!
Wish there were more more Mikey’s around, no deterrents work, fines going up etc, just films get them. Great work.
Top job Mike, can see you take no pleasure from it, doing great work
Love what you do
When you said 'later that day' I honestly thought you'd see the same guy driving a cab.....
Keep up the good work Mikey. The roads are a little safer through your actions.
yes i do feel safer. apart from global warming causing the 6th mass extinction and wasted fuel leading to our eventual starvation
Great work
Was the entitled Bentley driver even wearing a seatbelt? 🤔
Good spot! Add in the mis-spaced number plate, and it's perfectly clear that he -thinks- thought the law doesn't apply to _him!_
Yes, he was
@@georgebarnes8163 Can you please give us a time-stamp where it can be seen?
I can see he failed his recent MOT too by having illegal number plates. More money more problems.
If that Bentley driver really is a lawyer, he should know better. No excuse. We love it when you get the obnoxious smug ones put bang to rights, Mikey. Great work.
What a vile piece of work. I hope he is reading these comments. Glad he was disqualified for 6 months as well. Hope it really impacts his life and changes his behaviour although I doubt it.
We might not of always seen eye to eye but I do think you’re doing a great job in trying to make the roads a bit safer.
The cabbie although in the wrong was the polar opposite of the other guy. 😊👍😊👍😊
What are the rules on pressing a button whilst using waze, google maps whilst phone mounted on dash? Sometimes those apps reroute you and you have to accept or reject the reroute option for the app to continue
Now known as The Bentley Bellend 🤣🤣🤣
Bentley Boy clearly doesn't have the manners to match his car...or the road sense. Well deserved and we'll done Mikey. In the "after court" part of your video, for a moment I thought he was going to come up and approach you to vent. I recall that happening in one of your previous videos though fortunately it didn't get out hand and was merely a discussion between the two of you.
Out of curiosity would being banned from driving leave a permanant mark on your insurance, or would it eventually be removed?
I think it eventually wears off, but it takes a few years.
@@CyclingMikey Ah thanks, it's good there are more consequences than just having your toys taken away from you for a bit.
Legend 💪
Nice moment out of the blog mick respect.
According to the DVLA website today ( 30 Nov2022 ) the MOT on that Bentley expired on 16 Sept 22. So perhaps he has mothballed the car whilst he’s disqualified.
And on another issue, the DVLA ought to withdraw his entitlement to have that private number plate as you are not allowed to misrepresent the numbers and letters by spacing the digits incorrectly.
Well done Mikey your a bloody star !
Good work Mikey..
"Painful but it has to be done" quite right Mikey there ate to many committing the offence and are very casual about thinking that nothing will be done about it.
A few years ago a good friend of mine was killed while cycling home in Central London and a car went straight over him. The driver didn't initially stop so witnesses stopped the car. The police didn't even check the driver's phone. Not all the witnesses details were taken either. I stopped cycling after a couple of near misses and didn't let my children cycle because cycling has become so dangerous during my lifetime. I know far more drivers than cyclists but no drivers I know have been killed in RTAs but four friends have been killed while cycling, three in London and one on a country lane. I applaud what you are doing, Mikey, I think you're saving lives.
Big love my friend .
Merry Xmass
Same to you!
« I am a lawyer… »… later in court… « you are disqualified for 6 months ».
He got what he deserved, Mikey. You're a really nice chap, but he was obnoxious and entitled. Hopefully 6 months on public transport might change his behaviour eh?
dude has been on a downward trajectory and this is yet another blow
This guy wants to be a cop so bad. on yer bike looser. Drivers have enough to worry about. Also you don’t report the cab driver, proper racist. If someone is on phone and it affects you then fair enough but u was in bike lane he did nothing. Keep looking for trouble it will find you matey. Mind your business live your life and be happy. 💙
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.
Most of all I'm happy that your reaction shows how much traction this idea of good citizens videoing and reporting road crime has gotten in your head.
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'm not even in the top ten most prolific reporters in London.
I suggest you drive properly around us all. Feel paranoid. Google your own number plates. Regularly.
Balls of steel. Well done.
Petrol savings ? No longer driving . . Lol how much the great have fallen . Keep stacking em up Mikey.
Didn't the chap in the Bentley say he was a lawyer..?
Another one bites the dust. I really don’t feel sorry for these people, who all do it knowing that it’s wrong. Serves them right tbh. Keep at it Mikey!
What? I’ve watched your videos for months. Although I think you’re a tad obsessive… overall my opinion has been that you’re doing this for the greater good - the safety of other road users. That will always be a good thing. However I cannot believe you’ve just let one guy off because “he’s a cabbie” and “you don’t approve with Uber”. You’ve thrown everything you stand for out the window and now made this entire channel null and void in my opinion.
Also, I know you will likely just mark me as a “troll” but as aforementioned - I have binged this channel previously on a number of occasions in favour of what you do. I’ve even mentioned you positively on my podcast which gets 500k listens per episode. But letting off a cabbie because you like them is mental, you may as well let off the next woman you find attractive; or somebody wearing your favourite sports jersey.
Redundant now.
Yeah, as I said on twitter, you couldn't be more wrong. This is because this happened when the previous mobile phone law was in effect. That required us to prove that the phone was not only being used, but specifically being used for the purposes of interactive communication, being texting, talking to someone, etc . The Bentley driver was involved in interactive communication on his mobile, a clear phone call. The taxi driver, I had no proof of any interactive communication, so there was absolutely no chance he could be convicted. This is why I warned him that the very next day if I caught him with a lit up phone screen, he'd be prosecuted, as the new mobile phone law took effect the day after this. I don't hate the drivers I catch, which is why I'm generally friendly to them. I do dislike their illegal behaviours.
Well done Mickey. What a horrible man. I hope they also prosecuted him for his numberplate.
