Get your own life. And there's no such thing as road tax. Most of all, as a driver, you're only on the road via revocable licence; your driving is a privilege and not a right. Don't believe me? Look at the playlist of disqualified drivers on my channel. Includes Guy Ritchie, the film director. Cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders/carriages all use the public highway by right. So get lost with your road tax - it's actually a pollution tax called VED. Plus you're a freeloader as a driver - the sum of motoring taxes is far less than the sum cost of motoring to society. Pay your way or shut up.
@@CyclingMikey Waste of time really trying to explain to the half wits that cyclists by law don't have to pay Road Tax...Neither do Zero Emission vehicles....(doh)
Erm, there's no such thing? And its against the law to operate your phone and drive. The driver knew that. When he realised he'd been spotted, he reacted like a little child caught with his hand in the biscuit tin. I have been knocked off my bike by two motorists. One was avoidable if he'd been looking at the road. Trashed my right knee and right shoulder. The second was a minor bump on my front wheel. Why? Because he was staring at his phone and didn't once look up except to tell me to fuck off before driving off. Had he been travelling faster it could have been much worse. The little bag head was lucky I didn't drag him from his Ford and tear out his fucking spine. There are bad motorists and bad cyclists. But the law is abundantly clear. So put your phone away fir a few minutes. Someone's life could be either ended or severely affected forever all because you just couldn't help yourself and needed to check that last text, tweet or Facebook post.
I am a car driver a petrol head myself, and I really like these vlogs. I drive professionally and safe..Concentrated and according to the rules of safety...I can't understand any criticism on Mike for what he does...believe me; if people got more tickets for bad behaviour it would help a lot in killings and wounding of innocents
The only people that would be bothered by Mikeys behaviour are those are regularly break the rules themselves and see no problem doing it. The entitlement is shocking
I totally agree. Mike is doing a fantastic job. I drive for a living and often see bad driving every day and it really frustrates me that bad drivers get away with it. At least Mike is getting good results from his campaign.
Everytime I drive in London there are cyclists going through red lights and often abusing pedestrians they frighten maybe you could nab some of them too
@@gregtaylor6146 No but they sometimes do stupid stuff like try to overtake a bus on the inside with parked cars, and get crushed. Now you could say that they're only hurting themselves, but try saying that to the bus driver who feels like a murderer for the rest of their life. Cars are obviously more dangerous, but that don't excuse bad cyclists.
@@PowerMadLabRat Try saying that to the thousands of innocent people who are killed and injured by drivers of two-tonne vehicles each year. The cyclist loses his life for his mistake (which is rare as we are not stupid, most know how vulnerable we are).. The car driver gets a small prison sentence for killing someone totally innocent - then back to the rest of his life. . Cyclists are a minority group, most of us are safe ourselves but we are very vulnerable out there to bad drivers, who do not care about cyclists and overtake too close etc. Not look out for us at junctions. Your comments can only make that worse, they fuel these kinds of drivers. We are not all red-light runners. The ones who do - do it safely - as they are risking their lives against cars. There will always be a tiny group of suicidal people, like base jumpers who take too much risk. Even base jumpers have to have someone scrape them off the floor and are selfish in that way. The vast majority of us lookout for buses buddy, we do not want to get squashed. Stop branding us all with the bad ones, please?. Think, please, that is all I ask of you. I wonder of the kind of people who upvoted your comment and how they will not lookout for us, and may find it funny to close pass one of us again, it happens all too often and can only be on purpose.
Well done and thanks. I drive a car and motorcycle which I have held a licence for 43 years. The amount of people using mobile phones, in particular texting is unbelievable. I think it should be an instant disqualification for people who do this. There’s no excuse. A hands free system is very cheap. In all, the level of respect and courtesy is near to zero with many drivers.
Well done Mick. I appreciate all the work you do in gettting bad and inconsiderate drivers dealt with. Too many bad drivers get away with it. I drive for a living and it really annoys me when I see drivers driving inconsiderately and dangerously. I also ride a motorcycle and sometimes I cycle. These bad drivers in these videos are people that are self-entitled and think they can do what they like. As you clearly state and I totally agree, driving is a privilege but sadly many motorists think they can do what they like when behind the wheel. My number one pet hate are tailgaiters and people that don't indicate. Keep up the good work Mick. I appreciate it.
Some think they can do two things at once, sorry to hear of you loss RIP in your Mum. I belive that Mickey,s farther was killed by a drunk driver and I think he does this work in memory of his farther.
only found your videos about a month ago. your a credit to the good human beings Mike. I myself don't drive but it winds me up how people think they are intelligent enough to drive at speed and think its acceptable to use their phones, and not realise the danger they putting everyone in around them.
The morons only realise when they have a serious accident or kill someone - even then many of these drivers think they are above reproach and the laws on driving.
Turning on the phone , not giving way to pedestrians, hope he’s happy with his fine and points and increased insurance costs. 😊Keep stacking em up Mikey.
Even if he had to buy a hands-free device, it's a damn site cheaper than the fine and increase in insurance premium over the next few years. A no brainer really, as is buying a hands-free kit😁
In the past I have been guilty of these kinds of offences - thankfully without incident or accident and fortunately for me was never caught out. Watching videos like this, and knowing someone like yourself might just be around to catch me in the act, makes me 1000% less likely to do so in future. I think it's a good thing you are doing mate.
Happens a lot with these particular vehicles. Almost as if they're making a point of not caring about the rules. Most cars from the last decade have Bluetooth built in don't they?
I like what you do. I wish we could do the same in America 🇺🇸 I really enjoy you riding around London on your bike. London is one of my favorite cities in the world. Keep up the good work
the "talking back" he gave you sure hasn't helped him much in court... it's a pity that they can't give him an extra charge for that in the way of a doubled fine or something like that. good work spotting him in that parking lot! ;)
Great Job, Boet! The world needs people like you, passionate about road safety. To think of all the pedestrians along that long stretch of road and the "speed" he was going. It only takes a second to make a fatal mistake, and maybe a lifetime to regret it. Lekker shot, stay cool. God bless
@@charlesgraham2349 I'm a motorcyclist, I stay within the speed limits. Being a dickhead isn't exclusive to one type of vehicle, it's more of the person using the vehicle thing.
He accused you of ‘running away’ but it was he that was unwilling to face up in court. Seems a regular observation that these offenders have attitude problems. Seems that attitude and offending go hand in hand.
I'm new to watching your Vids and now quite a follower. I'm surprised by some of the actions you've witnessed and the responses you get when caught. I was quite surprised at the lengths you go to, to highlight them. All credit to you and well done.
No expectation of privacy outdoors in. USA. The difference is, the police won't do a thing with your video evidence. Well, maybe laugh. They have to catch you themselves to issue a citation. Ride safe!
I kinda feel bad for the driver. He seems to be doing a low paying job. On top of that, he is doing a job that requires constantly going on the phone and checking the location for the house to drop of the pizza. Bit harsh, considering his situation but he failed to attend court so it is his problem
isnt like the car even needs bluetooth, leave the phone on the passenger seat or in the dashboard or hands free holder and enable voice assistant on the phone , can call answer anyone that way ! dont even need to look or tough the phone !
Again I just don’t get drivers that use their phones, I’m a driver and I would lose my shit not concentrating on the road, imagine if the next thing you hear is a cyclist going under your wheels! Besides handsfree stuff in cars is fantastic now, you can easily take calls and even reply to texts just with your voice and guess what your eyes can stay on the road 100%!
Great job Mikey 👍 Hopefully that knocked a bit of arrogance out of him and made him think. There is no excuse for phone use behind the wheel and so many people these days have cameras, I just wish the fines where more severe.
Agreed with the fines, unfortunately unless there are points involved too, people who are better off financially don't miss the money, so in a way it teaches them nothing. Hopefully there can be a change there. Arrogant prick lol
Plus it would be illegal to film not to mention stop people like that or when they try to jump the queue on the wrong side of the road. You could yourself be charged a serious fine for getting on the road and forcing people to go back or even for filming people in public. If you told an employer about the reckless driving or parking of one of his employees there's a good chance that he will defend his employee and try to make you look like the one who's doing wrong by squealing. Must be a strange mixture of post-dictatorship angst and a "cars first" mentality.
I agree with your point but the trouble is dangerous cyclists cannot be pulled up as they have no number plate so cannot be traced. I used to drive a motorcycle so I know how poor some car drivers are.
Such a shame people can't think about the potential consequences or atleast the legal consequences of their actions and make smart decisions based on that.
There are tens of thousands of us with cameras out there. Don't drive and use your phone, and you won't risk being prosecuted and convicted like this guy was.
I’m pretty sure the guy using his phone in this video won’t do it again. Which means he is less likely be involved in an accident with a more vulnerable road user. So Mikey is doing a very good thing in reporting such offences.
I. Am a disabled man and have been looking for something to do in my own local area. This is brilliant the amount of people that use a phone whilst driving. Will definitely get myself a camera to wear on my helmet.
I watch Mikey's TH-cam videos and am afraid one day someone will take offence and cause him harm. Got to be a bit more careful so many nutters about. 🙏
Yes...way back in the '80' a woman driving a Range ..number plate SKY 99...nearly wiped out a load of us at a zebra crossing at Swiss Cottage...i remember yelling at her..& kept spotting her...never stopped using her effing fone...
I agree with what you’re doing as a cyclist myself, but also as a car driver why don’t you sit at traffic lights and film all the cyclists who ignore red lights and put cars and pedestrians at risk.
Agree that it is against the law for cyclists to go through red lights. However motorists should be the attention of any policing efforts. In 2018 there were about 3,000 road deaths in the UK. Only one was caused by a cyclist.
You need to learn the law: he's driving a Land Rover, therefore he's automatically exempt from any rules of the road, same goes for Audi and BMW drivers(!)
I just don't understand why the idiot doesn't connect his phone to his Rangey? That car has defo got Bluetooth. Unless of course he's worried his wife might see who he's been ringing...
Still defiant in the jaws of defeat. I can’t look out of my window without seeing someone on their phone, speeding, no seatbelt, even a wheelie on quad bike - everyone is above the law with no respect
Good work Cyclingmickey. I get sick and tired of motorists continually slagging off cyclists. They ought to look at themselves a bit closer. Not all cyclists are twats and not all motorists are twats. Just the ones who break the law!!
If you can afford to run a motor vehicle, you can afford a hands free device. Driving while using a mobile phone should be a 12 month ban, it’s surely as dangerous as drink driving. I do have a problem with the part of the law that states that the keys must be removed from the ignition before handling your mobile phone, though. If your phone battery is flat it can be problematic if you need to make an emergency call because some vehicles cut power to the 12v outlet when the keys are removed. I think it should be sufficient to park the vehicle safely, pull the handbrake and switch off the engine. What do I know, though! 😛 Anyway, great work, I admire your dedication and sheer balls!
The way he just drove past those cyclists at the junction, skimming by them in his two-tonne vehicle, with one hand on the wheel whilst tapping into his phone. Then all the way down that busy area. Would be cool if they could access his phone record to see how long that call was for. He then lies and denies it. Fails to turn up in court. No regard for anyone but himself. And the reason for not taking the time to stop and take the call - a shopping trip with some pizzas he was just going to eat. Maybe he risked people's lives because he did not wan them to go cold. And did not want to take the call a few minuets later when he got home. Sad.
great work not only on his phone but doing 50mph by the look of it on a street full of people crossing and near a hospital, crap driver, 6 points is awesome, he probably dont own that or pay any insurance, buy a bluetooth, they are 20 quid if that
Great that you are reporting him. Stupid you went after him with anger. What was the point if you were giving it to Police? Wanted to prove your point to him directly? You need to let that go fella, there will be that one time when it won't end well for you. I don't agree with it at all. but the Police are there to enforce. He may have gone home and beat his wife up too because he was chased after by a member of public rather than Police. Lost all respect for you.
Get a life. Pay for road tax first.

I like how you are so aware whats happening around you.
As a cyclist you have to be. Most drivers are fine.
It's amazing how many of these drivers caught are driving 4x4s/suvs. They must be suffering a case of big car small brain syndrome.
Hands-free devices for cars cost very little, I'm amazed how few drivers use them.

Hey, I'm all for punishing people for driving dangerously and breaking the law but being a rude idiot is not a criminal offence, nor should it be.
It's all about the money isn't it?

Aah a year before lock down look how petty everyone is
Driving on the phone isn’t petty, it’s bloody dangerous and not far different from drink driving.
I agree with your point but the trouble is dangerous cyclists cannot be pulled up as they have no number plate so cannot be traced. I used to drive a motorcycle so I know how poor some car drivers are.
What does that have to do with this driver? You’re bothered by Mike’s transport and take that from the video…amusing
Mikey, you seem to be incorporating some commentary, done an advanced driving/riding course?
Such a shame people can't think about the potential consequences or atleast the legal consequences of their actions and make smart decisions based on that.
Who are you, making it your business to have a go at people,??! Get a life and concern yourself with yourself. OMG
There are tens of thousands of us with cameras out there. Don't drive and use your phone, and you won't risk being prosecuted and convicted like this guy was.
I’m pretty sure the guy using his phone in this video won’t do it again. Which means he is less likely be involved in an accident with a more vulnerable road user. So Mikey is doing a very good thing in reporting such offences.

A bit of synthetic fur works quite well. That's what we use for outdoor recording.

Yes...way back in the '80' a woman driving a Range ..number plate SKY 99...nearly wiped out a load of us at a zebra crossing at Swiss Cottage...i remember yelling at her..& kept spotting her...never stopped using her effing fone...
I agree with what you’re doing as a cyclist myself, but also as a car driver why don’t you sit at traffic lights and film all the cyclists who ignore red lights and put cars and pedestrians at risk.
Agree that it is against the law for cyclists to go through red lights. However motorists should be the attention of any policing efforts. In 2018 there were about 3,000 road deaths in the UK. Only one was caused by a cyclist.
You need to learn the law: he's driving a Land Rover, therefore he's automatically exempt from any rules of the road, same goes for Audi and BMW drivers(!)
lol
and bike riders
I just don't understand why the idiot doesn't connect his phone to his Rangey? That car has defo got Bluetooth. Unless of course he's worried his wife might see who he's been ringing...
you are one dangerous character my friend
Still defiant in the jaws of defeat. I can’t look out of my window without seeing someone on their phone, speeding, no seatbelt, even a wheelie on quad bike - everyone is above the law with no respect
Good work Cyclingmickey. I get sick and tired of motorists continually slagging off cyclists. They ought to look at themselves a bit closer. Not all cyclists are twats and not all motorists are twats. Just the ones who break the law!!
If you can afford to run a motor vehicle, you can afford a hands free device. Driving while using a mobile phone should be a 12 month ban, it’s surely as dangerous as drink driving. I do have a problem with the part of the law that states that the keys must be removed from the ignition before handling your mobile phone, though. If your phone battery is flat it can be problematic if you need to make an emergency call because some vehicles cut power to the 12v outlet when the keys are removed.
I think it should be sufficient to park the vehicle safely, pull the handbrake and switch off the engine. What do I know, though! 😛
Anyway, great work, I admire your dedication and sheer balls!
Shouldn't be making hands-free calls either, to be frank. They are also massively distracting.
I presume ‘failure to comply’ is ‘failure to furnish’ the drivers details contrary to S172 of the RTA, rather than the original phone offence?
Yes - the police often call it that and who am I to argue. :)
Fair play. Disabled parking bay abuse is my pet hate.
Be careful, lots of nutters out there.
The way he just drove past those cyclists at the junction, skimming by them in his two-tonne vehicle, with one hand on the wheel whilst tapping into his phone. Then all the way down that busy area. Would be cool if they could access his phone record to see how long that call was for. He then lies and denies it. Fails to turn up in court. No regard for anyone but himself. And the reason for not taking the time to stop and take the call - a shopping trip with some pizzas he was just going to eat. Maybe he risked people's lives because he did not wan them to go cold. And did not want to take the call a few minuets later when he got home. Sad.
Didn't catch what he said at the end. Something about "see that there ..." Was that a threat?
great work not only on his phone but doing 50mph by the look of it on a street full of people crossing and near a hospital, crap driver, 6 points is awesome, he probably dont own that or pay any insurance, buy a bluetooth, they are 20 quid if that
Great that you are reporting him. Stupid you went after him with anger. What was the point if you were giving it to Police? Wanted to prove your point to him directly? You need to let that go fella, there will be that one time when it won't end well for you. I don't agree with it at all. but the Police are there to enforce. He may have gone home and beat his wife up too because he was chased after by a member of public rather than Police. Lost all respect for you.
What kind of go pro camera do you use
Outstanding work. Nailed that gobby tool.q
The Speedy Wheels of Justice Strikes again !
Says "Wrong side of the road" then goes on the wrong side of the road seconds later
According to Drivers of Skoda Yetis who are on Facebook , they can use phones whenever they like.
