- That was quite an intense few minutes on the Hyde Park Chum Line. So much going on and so much to unpack. I could easily have shown just the BMW driver and her disqualification result (or so the Met Police told me), but I figured it was more interesting to show everything that happened, and how many drivers don't give a damn about the law. Kiwi chap was topper!

This obsession with Cell Phones is insane, they can't put it down not even for 10 seconds.
You’d think if you had points on your licence you would be extra careful not to get anymore. Some people have to learn the hard way.
You can’t fix stupid
It's like the people driving around uninsured or without a drivers license tend to attract attention and get pulled over because they have a headlight out or not wearing their seatbelt.
entitled women like her will never learn, but at least she will not be a danger on the road for a couple of years
@@werholdMore likely only a few months.
Good to hear the Kiwi dude. We are all good sorts
Another danger off the road, well done Mikey.
Another case of entitlement and above the law. Now without a licence for something that is so avoidable. My phone is always in my pocket when driving and it stays there until my journey is finished.
Nice double duck flypast at 2:11.
Jerry and Gary
The BMW driver looked utterly astonished that you would say she can't use her phone at the wheel . How can so many people be driving or holders of a driver's licence yet not know the law . Surely a campaign of education or a more stringent drivers exam would save this country millions in costs of visiting accident scenes by Police / Fire service/ Paramedics and roads that are shut for hours not to mention ongoing NHS costs / court costs / policing costs.
Just come back from Vietnam and Cambodia, you’d have an absolute field day over there, 4 to a scooter, Mum feeding the baby, a toddler and Dad texting while steering!
Great video. I see some ridiculous drivers where I am. It is good that you are doing something about preventing potential injuries by getting drivers to perhaps think again before extending their existence as a slave to a phone. However, I wonder what's more distracting though; looking at a phone screen or being distracted by someone who is not even in the vehicle, starting/extending trivial conversations (unrelated to phone use) that cause the drivers to turn their heads perpendicular to the direction of travel.
They're like toddlers caught with their paws in the biscuit box.
That guilty upward stare is unmistakable.
Hypocrisy is strong
I guess #LE19SXL won’t be using her phone while driving any time soon. It must have been very, very important stuff she was scrolling through for such a long time. Nice work as usual Mikey!
Ten dollar.
One of the things I've noticed since watching your videos Mikey is the amount of 'drive by abuse' cyclists seem to get from drivers.
You don't cycle round a UK city much? Abuse is normal. However, I think escooters maybe be now the primary transport of hate for drivers as they are now considered "the lawbreakers"
Thanks to our strict gun laws, you're unlikely to get shot, but you might be the victim of a drive-by shouting.
@@weevilinabox more likely they'll "clip" you as they go past, that or a brake check. Here in Bristol you have to worry that the same people follow the same routes at the same time-as do you if you commute. If you are going to report someone for phone abuse (and not a near miss) then it's better to be discreet
@@SteveLoughranIts hard to be discreet whilst still getting footage clear enough that the CPS will take it.
You also notice how the psychology of people changes when they are within the safety of a car. They are more willing to act tough and say nasty things to other road users.
The whole points thing is to get people who cannot/will not learn off the roads. At least that's one less of them. Imagine being that arrogant.
Good result. I hope the disqualification is for a long period, too. I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for these people when they are putting lives at risk through their selfishness.
Thank you for the video and your efforts.
Last time I heard a laugh from the van driver like that was in the original Predator movie lol
LE1 SXL I wonder what defence she offered if any and I bet the judge was very impressed .
im from Christchurch New Zealand and just love to hear the Kiwi accent in London! "All good Bro." so good.
I've a gliding mate from Christchurch, I love his accent. (RC model gliders).
I never have anything to do with my phone when I'm driving. That's only because I've watched Mikey's films, and I've learnt the simple lesson. I suspect there are thousands of drivers out there, decent people, who would change to a no-phone rule if only the message were to reach them.
Birds on a bombing run at 2:10 :D
I thought exactly that myself! Some of those Canadian Geese have bombed me in the past. It was awful and stinky.
RCAF.
Great vid as always, Mikey. Just wanted to say you should wear a helmet, if you don't. I have a friend who would not be alive tody if she wasn't wearing one in Melbourne (it's the law in Aus, not UK). Slipped on a tram tack in the wet, woke up in hospital. Helmet was completely split. Would've been her skull otherwise. May not be law here in UK, but please do it.
Do you wear a crash helmet in the car, where the vast majority of head injuries happen, even with seat belts and airbags and more?
Why? Your friend in Melbourne wouldn’t have even been injured if the fackwit who hit her had been paying attention.
Helmets don’t prevent being hit by a fackwit in a car who’s on their phone (which is horrible, regardless of wearing a lid, asi know from experience) and they don’t protect from a couple of tons of steel
Please don’t victim blame, and save scrutiny for those inflicting the violence rather than those on the receiving end.
Being a slightly biased Kiwi, us Kiwis are pretty cool.
Well done South Africa RWC winners 23 (before anyone gives me some stick)
*waves red card*
Funnily enough I've just printed a red card that I might wave at some phone drivers haha.
@@CyclingMikey Do it! Do It! Do It!!!
so... they're stuck in traffic and looking at their phones.. and who are you? are you a cop?
Me? I’m a nobody. She? She was disqualified from driving.
what if someone has to adjust or correct google maps... they can't do that at a stop light???.. why are you taking it upon yourself to be law enforcement...???
@@ProjectLifeNetworktotal nonsense. Are you saying that if I saw an old woman being attacked on the street then I should walk past because I’m not a not police officer?? We’re all citizens of this country and we all have a responsibility to uphold all of the laws of this country. That’s the sign of a responsible and cultured society.
@@johnmanning5568 are you stupid?
My main man Mickey, keep up the good work bro, London lorry driver here,i "catch" car drivers on their phones all the time,i toot them up but don't report them as i don't have go pro only dash cam
Oh well the BMW driver will now have all the time in the world to look at her phone when they are catch the bus to work. Nice One Mikey
She's in a 3L petrol car, don't think she's going to be on the bus. Probably have a driver or something in future.
I kinda hope that you catch BMW lady again; driving while disqual and using the phone. What fun!
That worried luck she knows what's coming a special delivery letter from the MET Police.
So you having a nice old convo with the taxi driver or van driver doesn't count as distraction no?
That's correct; no difference to two people in a car having a conversation!
It can do with a following wind and a clear risk to others - but not in this case
User of mobile phones whilst driving is however explicitly illegal, and for good reason it’s facking dangerous.
If you don’t want to get caught using your phone behind the wheel, don’t use your phone behind the wheel
You're right; it doesn't.
So many people in one queue caught. Fucking hell..
Well done Mikey! I watch everyone of your uploads I can find - even old ones. Greetings from three degrees in Stockholm.
Thank you very much!
I hope Swedish drivers are better (but I suspect they aren't)
Ah, that was Miss Entitlement at the end there
Good job 👏🏻
Waves arms, 'but I'm not moving', really? learn to drive , learn to drive. The Force is non-existent in this one.
Needs to redo her licence as she obviously dint know what the hell was going on.
It's as if some think they're immune and omnipotent inside their vehicle, hence the absolute shock and disdain when caught being an entitled scofflaw.
Just wondering Mikey, if you were to catch a driver watching TH-cam, but it was one of your videos? 😂
The closest to that was that I was in two Dutch newspapers in Jan 2022, and then a week or so later I caught a Dutch driver reading one of those articles on his phone in his Tesla driving along Bayswater. I was so flabbergasted that I couldn't speak proper Dutch or English.
Guarantee you have got no wife no kids no life 😂😂
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.
Your reaction tells me that you're worried about being caught by other camera cyclists and drivers.
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.
In 2022 almost 15,000 reports were made by the public that resulted in the Met issuing a notice of intended prosecution. This is in London alone. I did only 383 of those.
I suggest you drive properly around us all. Feel paranoid. Google your own number plates. Regularly.
I flight mode my phone when driving, so there’s zero distraction. Then I un-flight it when I’ve reached my destination. Unless I need the maps, then my passenger holds my phone.
*Date of last V5C (logbook) issued* 20 July 2019
I'm guessing it's either parked up, or it's not her car.
How many cyclists have you videod running through red lights and committing other traffic violations?
Loads probably; but what can anyone do about it unless you are a police officer?! They have no registration plate to identify them by and also a car weighing around one ton is going to do a lot more damage to someone than a person on a bicycle!
Classic whataboutery
What have you even done? You’ve got a camera, nobody is stopping you mate. I’ll even subscribe to your channel in anticipation.
Drivers would soon change their ways if the general consensus was that phone abuse was a shameful thing, like drink-driving. At the moment, I don't think the general public agree that it's stupid to use a phone whilst driving. All normal sensible people would agree that drink-driving is an offensive thing to do. But many of those same people might say they were "ok" on the subject of phone abuse. Until using a phone at the wheel is seen as a shameful thing to do, drivers will not change.
Nice to hear a clip of one of my favourite parodies at the end there.
Hi! Model aircraft eh? Man, you gotta do a video on that!!!!
Interesting video Mikey. Another law breaker disqualified and it servers them right.
Human red light camera, fantastic!
And her ban will be all your fault!. She will be cursing you and blaming you for lots of things now. However only herself to blame same with speeding or parking if you didn’t speed you wouldn’t get a ticket and if you parked properly you wouldn’t get a ticket. Take it on the chin and learn from it. Keep up the good work Mikey
Never knew Groucho Marx was a London cab driver 😅
Why did the taxi driver look like he had one of those novelty disguises on his face?
People in cars getting fined while on their phone stationary, whilst cyclists run red lights, what’s more dangerous?
2 tons of metal Vs perhaps 100 kilos of person and bike. Hmm I wonder 🤦♂️
@@jimbo1531 2 tons of metal won’t do any harm at zero miles an hour, that’s why I used the word stationary in my post. Hmmm I wonder
@@philmercer4877check out car park crashes. A stationary car can still crush you with the pedal pressed. Bikes stationary or slow cannot accelerate that fast
@@philmercer4877 it will if you stop in the cycle lane
I’m amazed when someone tries to make 2 wrongs into a right. Statistically, phones distract drivers, whether stationary or not. The plummeting standard of driving in this country really doesn’t allow for distractions. Another significant fact is that the majority of people killed in accidents due to phone distractions are NOT the drivers. I am not a cyclist, but I have spent many years witnessing the results of accidents on our roads. Mikey on every corner would be just fine
I suppose at least the driver of the white golf was listening to good music 😂
The cabby didn't seem very impressed with your pylon racer Mikey 😁👍
He was pretty shocked at the speed mind.
@@CyclingMikeyThere's no way I could fly pylon! My reactions are way too slow.
I once came third in the Zim national Quickie 500 race, never really that good. This one is much faster and scarier and I would struggle to handle it around a set of pylons without a great deal of practice.
@@CyclingMikey I'll stick to gliders! 😉
@@archivist17 And I'll keep playing with my indoor slow flyers 😁👍
The VW driver going through the red light -Only about 0.5 seconds of red..... The fine for going through orange light is the same as going through a red light.
I'm told that it's very hard or impossible to successfully convict a driver for going through red unless it's about 1 second or more after red, or they audibly and visibly accelerated towards the light in reaction to it going red. I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not sure why this is.
When will they ever learn.
To be fair to the guy in the white car, you probably should have a helmet on what with him being on his phone and more likely to be the cause of a collision. It almost sounded like a threat rather than petty point scoring.
Helmets aren’t going to stop you getting hit, and provide fack all protect against a couple of tons of metal.
Awesome outtro Mikey your such a legend
There should be a sign on that road, phone spotter at work.
I’d like it more if drivers assumed that anyway….
Very entitled individual. Classic London these days sadly.
@CyclingMikey You must get more than 1 per day on avergage?
I probably could, but I try not to.
I wonder why trade vehicles specifically are banned?
A productive day Mikey. Red light jumpers should also be prosecuted. Once the lights turn amber, the driver should be slowing down, not speeding up. Stay safe 👍👍👍
Police dont seen to bother
Nice that your concentrating on the drivers on their phones. But I did notice at least one electric scooter AND a cyclist go through a red light! Yet zero comment. I’m all for road safety but let’s ALL do better not just the car drivers.
Stiffer penalties. More disqualification.
Phew at the speed of your remote aircraft
“Zimbabwean here…” uh huh?
Yes indeed, I was born in Zimbabwe and brought up there.
Nice one!
Using a phone whilst stopped is not dangerous but it is against the law
Mikey however is a self important a hole no doubt about it
I’m all for reporting dangerous driving but parked a queue ranks well below that
Mind your own business
Stationary phone drivers are still dangerous for many reasons:
1) The people using their phones when stationary are often the same people using them when moving. Being caught whilst stationary is a co-incidence, not a defence. It's easier for me to catch them when stopped, but so many were also seen using their phones when moving.
2) They are entirely unaware of people crossing the road around them. See here where a phone driver almost hits someone in the queue
twitter.com/phonekills/status/1491526464520560641?s=20
See this other tweet where a 5 year old child is almost hit by a phone driver who was stationary:
x.com/cmdkenyon/status/1724483042046067052?s=20
3) They are entirely unaware of filtering cyclists and motorcyclists, despite the Highway Code requiring us to be aware of this.
4) Phone distraction lasts for a good time after you put the phone away. Even if you're only using the phone in each traffic queue at each junction (which is highly unlikely), then you're constantly topping up your mental distraction and are basically as disabled as a drunk driver.
5) Phone driving is worse than drink driving for distraction rates, and that's why it's part of the #Fatal4 behaviours that police target heavily.
6) Here's a police officer telling you that he has been on the scene for 3 fatal RTCs involving drivers who were stationary whilst using their phones, and then moved off and caused a collision: twitter.com/markandcharlie/status/1604073330751197184?s=20&t=uj8sgu7spu4cTyDqqqds2g
7) Policing phone drivers will help them stop other traffic offences too - it's vanishingly rare that someone only breaks a single traffic law like mobile phone use.
I'm really not interested in this nonsense of "it's not dangerous when stationary, because it clearly is and it's clearly still very appropriate to catch these drivers.
Well thank the Lord that we have your blessing to report dangerous driving. You can't imagine my relief.
For a mo I thought you got her twice then = 12 points and a ban. That would have been funny.
I’ve caught a few drivers twice. They’re in my disqualified drivers playlist. Arrogance huh!
Well done 1.5 metre clearance no time for road users like you give us a bad name talking to people in there cars is the same as been on there phones stop causing accidents
Would you like to try that again, this time in English please? If you don't use your phone when driving, you don't risk disqualificaiton. The danger comes from the phone drivers. No danger from my cycling to anyone.
I just stick my phone in the glove box when I am driving and leave it alone. Its not that hard.
Good boy
Bet that taxi driver is fun on a night out
Meanwhile they all sit there with their engines idling in the middle of the park - nice 🤦♂
well done for catching stationary cars. get a real job you grass!!

@@CyclingMikey grass!! why did you delete my other reply? was It because I was right about you judging people for being stationary and comparing them to actual people that do use phones whilst on the move? or was it because you don't wear a helmet on the road, Or the fact you also distract people whilst in there car yourself. pot kettle. taking the little mans money and supporting the big government isn't a stand up job.

Some people might hate cycling mikey but me personally I think he's does a brillant job. Easy option is phone in glove box.
After all these years of government adverts and Police promoting the banning of phones whilst driving, the message of Don't Drive and Phone has become extremely common knowledge with the public. And yet here we are ...
How has this whopper not been sparked out?
You're all fart and no poo. You'll do nothing.
Did that "you need a license" guy go through a red light?
Edit, no, he stopped.
Oh is that what he said? I just couldn't make it out. Maybe he thought I need a licence to film, or to drive? I've got a driving licence anyway, and nobody needs a licence to film.

How many people have been killed or injured in the last 10 years from people on their phones in standstill traffic?@@CyclingMikey
I wonder if that defence would stand up in court when you’ve crashed in a farmers field while drink driving
Yeah and drunk drivers who drive reaaallly slowly shouldn’t get done either
Are any of the people he caught drink driving? No. Blockhead@@bestbehave
@CyclingMikey. Why don't you stop the real important crimes . The child abuse in this so called civilised country is horrific and yet you spend your time getting evidence on people in traffic queues using their phones and harming no one. The real law states that you should cause no harm. Of course using a phone when actually driving is wrong because it might cause harm. Using a phone when stationary is harmless..
johntimbrell. Oh dear! Regarding your last sentence. Educate yourself at "IAM Roadsmart" before saying something as daft as that.
Stationary phone drivers are still dangerous for many reasons:
1) Should a child or shorter person cross in front of them they wouldn't even see them, and would likely then move off, running them over. Here's an example someone else caught where the driver almost takes out a pedestrian at a crossing:

2) They are entirely unaware of filtering cyclists and motorcyclists. These drivers are often slow to react when the queue starts moving, and then when someone behind them beeps they drop the phone and hastily move off without even looking.
3) If you imagine these people only use their phones when queuing at the traffic lights, that's terribly naïve. The gardener in LM63BTZ was on the phone whilst driving along, and quite likely had been doing it for some considerable part of his journey. These phone users are constantly using their phones, but it's just much easier to catch them when they're in the queue.
4) Phone distraction lasts for a good time after you put the phone away. Even if you're only using the phone in each traffic queue at each junction (which is highly unlikely), then you're constantly topping up your mental distraction and are basically as disabled as a drunk driver.
5) Phone driving is worse than drink driving for distraction rates, and that's why it's part of the #Fatal4 behaviours that police target heavily.
6) Here's a police officer telling you that he has been on the scene for 3 fatal RTCs involving drivers who were stationary whilst using their phones, and then moved off and caused a collision: twitter.com/markandcharlie/status/1604073330751197184?s=20&t=uj8sgu7spu4cTyDqqqds2g
7) People who knowingly break minor driving law will likely also break more serious laws. Strong policing of minor traffic offences has a strong effect on reducing collisions resulting in killed and seriously injured people. It's good to police these phone drivers.
I'm really not interested in this nonsense of "it's not dangerous when stationary, because it clearly is and it's clearly still very appropriate to catch these drivers.
@@TamMcNeave What do you mean by "Roadsmart".
@@CyclingMikey Well Mickey, I spend my time fighting real important issues. I use my knowledge of the law to release people who have been unlawfully imprisoned. I'll bet you don't know what a legal fiction is. Why don't you get a life?
Mikey, not Mickey thanks. That's an issue that's important for sure, but so are the 1,800 deaths and 27,000 serious injuries and maimings caused by road violence. Just behave behind the wheel, and you won't risk prosecution, possible loss of licence and/or job.
Trick or treat 🤭🤭
I'm a big fan of your videos Mikey. But I do have to question interacting with drivers like the cab driver in this clip.
I know obviously talking to drivers is not illegal (although studies of in car phone calls etc show significant distraction), and phone use is. But simply from an appearance/moral point of view, I think perhaps you should keep distracting traffic to a minimum, i.e. reminding idiots that phone use in an unparked car is a crime.
What qualifies you...?
What qualifies me to do what?
People who don't want to be run over by a distracted degenerate, texting away whilst driving a 1600kg metal box on wheels... That's what qualifies him.
@@TenFalconsMusic Um, he walked up to the drivers, while they were sitting still in traffic. Idiot.
Disturb people while they are, sitting still, in traffic.@@CyclingMikey
You do know, Richard, that any citizen (yourself included) can report illegal behaviour of others?
