- I thought all four phone drivers had good evidence of interactive communication. I thought the first two drivers who were just warned, showed the best evidence of interactive communication, yet the other two got prosecuted. The taxi driver's details are here because I think he tried to warn the first driver, but perhaps he was only beeping to get the queue moving? If you do that to a police officer, I suspect it's considered to be an offence, although it clearly isn't when it's just me, a nobody. If it was just to get the queue moving, then I'd suggest not bothering because it won't speed up your journey at all, it's just impatience. I reckon Mikey Locks Ltd driver was also on the phone, given his WhatsApp gap, but I can only catch one driver at a time.

The way you use the Muslim greeting is pretty presumptive, I guess feeling like an outsider in the UK probably makes you want to amplify the feeling of belonging to others. I guess eroding the British identity is a popular pastime of yours and many like you these days. Never forget who gave you a home and at what cost.
It's just called respect and kindness, fella. Try harder not to be such a xenophobic piece of nastiness.
Why don't you just say "I hate Muslims and I am racist"? Such a long winded way to disguise a point
Wishing peace to each other seems a pretty poor way to erode an identity.
@@CyclingMikey With trump in his tumbnail, I don't think that there is any hope left.
Why is he an "outsider"? He has as much right to live here as anyone else - he's not breaking the law or doing anything harmful to our country, so what is the problem? 🤷♂️
How can they not get a prosecution if the driver has admitted doing they interactive communication they need? Baffling.
Friends in high places !!!!
Probably the so called "Unseen hand" at work again.
Not enough evidence to prosecute the first driver even though she admitted it on camera
Maybe they really need a video evidence of the driver holding the phone to prosecute him
Tory sleeze
Well done Mikey! 👍
Even a letter may cause the driver to rethink their actions.
That was nice of that taxi driver to try to warn the driver in front, IF that is what he was doing. However, I suspect he was beeping because the van in front of her was still stationary long after the queue had begun moving again. I suspect that guy was on his phone too.
It would appear that there is clear inconsistency with the interpretation of mobile phone usage whilst in charge of a vehicle, Mikey. Not sure why but the judicial system is difficult to comprehend sometimes!!! Keep up the fight!!! 👍👍👍
The new law sorts that all out, no way to argue now.
1:05 Giving the benefit of the doubt, but I think the cabbie was beeping because the van ahead hadn't moved away?
That was my thought too...
Van driver probably on the phone aswell
You could well be right!
@@WarrenF very likely! :)
Probably. Would've beeped sooner if a warning.
The Met went through a busy phase last year and were understaffed. So a lot of what got submitted just wasn’t handled properly.
This year already there’s been a lot of action, and I’ve several court hearings to go to where motorists have denied offences, although the evidence clearly shows otherwise.
Whilst they’re entitled to a court hearing, it’s a huge waste of time for everyone involved.
A system whereby the police could just share the evidence beforehand, or the key money shots, would be much better. You can’t deny being on the phone when you’ve a photo of you being on the phone alongside the NIP you’ve just earned.
Then once in court, 3 magistrates, a legal advisor, a recorder, a prosecutor - that’s 6 people minimum to even cement a prosecution.
The whole lot needs reform and overhaul.
The way it's done is still like it's done in the 13th century, they still have to wear the wigs and tunics in high courts
@@stuart23969no one wore wigs in the 13th century. ..Let's not exaggerate.
That 'cool' number plate was illegal and actually attracts a larger fine than using a phone whilst driving.
REALLY are the police interested ,,, NO ,,, yet new laws keep coming out WHY?
No points though.
It’s rarely enforced
@@johngrice2246 So we do not like that law - so maybe we find it inconvenient to observe a speed limit or maybe even a drink drive limit - and nobody really cares, so we will not enforce those laws either. We vote our government into power - they then make the laws.....why???
@@letter1014 well it should be, because you can bet your bottom dollar that if they are ignoring that law then other offences would inevitably follow....
If more evidence is needed to show that phone use is a big distraction, Mikey's victims cannot even see him in the door mirror, he is that close.
Hang on a Cotton Picking Minute. Not enough evidence. You have a video of the action / screen. The driver agrees she does it when in traffic stationary. She clearly knew she shouldn’t really be doing it. If you haven’t, Which I’m sure you have already, Id challenge the decision. In the scheme of things Mikey. I hope she will have as a mature driver learns that valuable lesson.
This was back under the old mobile phone laws where interactive communication had to be proved. It would be way to late now, you only have 14 days from the offence to serve the NIP.
And yes the first two got very lucky to only get a warning letter, the worker must have been feeling forgiving that day
Living in the US, I'm just flabbergasted that you have a system in place to report phone drivers!
You tried Mikey, better luck next time 😊👍 You know Vera Lynn : We'll meet again....
I wonder how much of the decision to prosecute was based on the day of week and/or time of day that a given complaint was dealt with. Also, how much comes down to which officer was dealing with it... More than anybody should find acceptable would be my guess.
It's never ending, the amount of people using their phones. You must feel like you hardly make a dent in the problem. Good work though.
0:44 Even the van in front says "Mikeys". He should have seen that as a warning. Shame he only got a warning from the police too :/
*she
@@letter1014 Is it ok to say he/ she anymore ? 🤔
The cabby may have been honking because the lady wasn’t moving forward.
The Government really should run public adverts on tv and internet to really highlight illegality of mobile phone use when driving and even stationary in traffic.
3:56 that was a wholesome interaction, love to see it
The car in front of this driver has your name on it! Greetings from the Netherlands
The Phone shouldn't even be in the hand. Must be the NEW Hands free!!!
Illegal numberplate on the 5tfu van, no-one ever does anything about those though
Yes they are given fines but often when stopped for other reasons, get caught a few times and DVLA revoke the plate for good.
Disheartening for you Mikey as you put so much effort into this “ police work “ 🙄 you deserve to have such blatant disregard these idiots show be brought to justice.
Agreed!
The lady in the first car probably a government worker. Maybe an administrator or some higher upper level. She even appeared to laugh at you. Hopefully they put it on the news causing a little embarrassment down at the MET.
It’s sort of obvious anyone who gets a warning letter it’s part of the late club and tend to get away with minor offences
What sort of people work for the MET dealing with mobile phone abusers, there may be a team of blind workers that are watching your very clear videos that are sadly not in braille (yet) and because of that, they call it "a lack of evidence".
Hi Mikey, I'm simply astonished the police did not apply fixed penalty notice although the driver admitted her guilt. I would be inclined to appeal the case by sending the MET a successful video fine from your many archives with the one you sent and let them argue why a warning message was issued.
You know what I think it is? I think the Met just can't be arsed to take it any further, so they say _"insufficient evidence"_ and go back to drinking their coffee.
Hi Mikey. Could you add a link to where you find those results in the info under your videos? I'd like to try and match up with some of my reports and couldn't find the info through googling. Thanks
May I suggest you place a POL (polarizer) filter on your camera. It should cut down that mirror effect you get on glass.....
Come on Mikey. Liking and condoning an illegal number plate is not like you?.
Yeah, sorry about that. I just really enjoy this particular plate. It amuses me immensely.
The first one was probably a judge or works at the CPS. To admit it and only get a warning is not on.
I reviewed some footage taken off my dashcam from two days ago. Whilst driving at the time, it was clear the driver of a van heading towards me was reading his phone and not watching the road ahead. But unfortunately, I could only see his phone when his side window was level with mine.
Reviewing the footage yesterday, I could see the driver looking down but his phone was never visible to my dashcam. Really annoying.
I don't think the Lancashire Police would entertain a prosecution, so I'll save the footage for TH-cam when I get around to it.
Best to report clips same day as you got it. Takes about a week now to get an email from the met that they are taking action on the people I report and there's a 14 day period between where the incident occurs and when the letter has to get to the persons house
One way to fix the problem of cellphones being used while driving would be to have to have the phone in your cars glovebox. If then pulled over would get heavy fine if not in glovebox!
What gets me is all these modern cars are equipped with blue tooth ….
Thank you Mikey.
Driver 1, she admitted to doing it habitually and the police still did nothing. Incredible.
I was crossing a road junction the other day and there was a van driver sat there with his phone right in front of his face, not even paying any attention to what was going on. There was a car in front that was waiting to pull out. Someone could have crossed assuming it was safe and then the van driver could have pulled forward without even looking
I wished I'd filmed him now because I doubt it was the first time he's done it, and I doubt it will be the last. I'm sure his employers wouldn't have taken it lightly
I’m definitely book marking this Video. If those first two people got away with it “DUE TO LACK OF EVIDENCE” I’m going to start and if I ever got caught I’ll use that as evidence as a case in Court 😂😂😂😂 What a joke couldn’t be any more blatant
Can you get a polarising filter on your camera lens to reduce the window reflections?
Nice One Mikey, keep up the Good Work. His Numberplate reads 'LOL STFU'. Perhaps you could also warm Motorcyclists who have modified exhausts, that would be refreshing. Like many people I'm fed up of those Crossers who should be getting Section 59 but dont. Also invalidates Insurance. Bloody nuisances.
I have a louder, ( but legal ) exhaust on my bike, it helps, me be noticed by sleepyarse car drivers who are in their own world and totally ignorant of what’s going on around them, as demonstrated frequently by Mikey in his videos
@@garfield2279👏👏👏
@@garfield2279 Well how do you know it's Legal. Is it the same one as in your Insurance Policy? Do you have a DB Sound Meter? Why not stick to the 30mph in built up areas and ride to to the conditions. Save pissing the whole neighborhood off.
Illegal number plate. Not impressive at all.
Yeah, sorry about that. I just really enjoy this particular plate. It amuses me immensely.
Great podcast Mickie. What out for nutters. They are self righteous bigots.
Well done Mickey, keep up the good work.
When are we due to see videos taken under the new rules that outright ban any phone use while driving?
There have been a couple, and there are more to come. Here we're at the end of Jan 2022, so just two more months to go and most of them will be new phone law related.
I have spoken a police officer and told me at lest the particular officer they prefer to send out warning letters because it save public money.
But I my self feel that the response depends on the officer dealing with the case we all see things different to every body else.
Police siblings. Maybe try reporting with/to another email/station.
That number plate is great,
LOL STFU
shame the layout is illegal.
Good work 👍👍👌👌
Is that Mickey on the van in front...?!
Dismayed that you think the mis spacing of numbers on a number plate is cool, it's an offence too you know
Yeah, sorry about that. I just really enjoy this particular plate. It amuses me immensely.
It would seem that the police are getting fed up with you now and just sending out bog-standard warning letters, rather than doing anything
Oh, that would be the wrong conclusion to jump to. I have more phone convictions than ever in the last year.
9:11 - is that cyclist going through a red light?
one day i was cycling with my son on my bike and i noticed a car infron not driving straight, kept swerving near the curb in front, when i cought up with her she was on her phone, i told her to stop using her phone and what she did was spit at me, fortunately her spit was off target and spat in her own car....lol
keep up the good work Mikey
I think the car behind beeped because the van was sat not moving, world ain't revolving around you and your "fame" (although the beep before was questionable, but could have been unrelated)
I do think you'd have been better having a check what the van driver was up, not getting the plates of the cab behind who was probably not beeping to warn her.
Did anyone else notice the van in front says 'Mikey' on the back? What a coincidence.
all the KIA, NO IDEA 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Also, the taxi driver very much appears to be using his phone also when you first pass so he deserves to be here for that alone
So, is it really necessary to stuff adverts into all these clips
‘Mikey’s’ van in front was also on the phone, Shirley?
0:17 - You missed the Taxi Driver, phone in hand! (the one who beeped)
Good spot
Did the woman in the Chelsea tractor, look around, see you, then carry on?
@CyclingMikey that's interesting, so tapping phone that's on your thigh is still handheld? how about on passenger seat?
That wasn't necessarily illegal *at that time.* But the law has been amended since then, and the current legislation can deem as little as activating the screen to read the time (for example) as "using" the phone - unless it is in a holder.
So many illegal plates 😮
You should report the STFU one as well as that is an illegal (modified) plate. It should read LO15 TFU with the correct spacing.
"Not enough evidence" despite it being clear in the video and her also admitting to it when approached
If the po po don't prosecute, they've been told to leave it.
Who would of thought it cycling mikey working for Sadiq Khan
You should invest in technology to zoom in on the phones
Maybe friends in the Met?
Smoking, texting - I'm surprised she wasn't putting on makeup as well. (She needed to!)
Whats with all the Photographers on that road 🤔
Hahahaha, this was a journo and photographer from the Sunday Mirror following me around on that day for an article.
That’s ridiculous.
It’s not one rule for one person, and another rule for another person. This is want gets to people.
Should have been all fined. Should and that, that is still the case. Should be all fined
Aleichem Shalom - Shalom Aleichem. I didn't know your spoke Hebrew?!?!
Ah, no, that gentleman was Muslim and I was greeting him with the Muslim equivalent. :)
@@CyclingMikey The greetings are very similiar. It jumped out at me because my Uncle is a Reverand Deacon in his local church and he was over in The Holy Land and studied a bit of Hebrew while he was over there.
his number plate was 'Lol stfu'

If stationary makes distraction like phone OK, why not allow carpenters to make window frames or musicians to get a cello out.
You have a job for life because phone users will NEVER learn! 🚘📲 ❎
Didn't know the met office was bias.
Inconsistency? I call it a complete failure, the Police should be out and about doing this but these days they are more concerned if someone had their feelings hurt 😕
Mikey, surely the Met know about your TH-cam channel by now, and still they perform the most bizarre inconsistencies in prosecution.
Perhaps the police are getting tired of CyclingMikey doing their job better than they can. Shame on the government for cutting funding.
Two Motor cyclists gone past on the other side of the road into ongoing traffic at the beginning of your video and yet again not noted or pursued... then more and more...and nothing done about them...hmmm - you are right to catch the drivers but please be fair and catch the reg nos. of the bikes
Lots going on in the video Mikey.

The STFU number plate is illegally spaced
Smoking should be illegal while driving too, never understood why it isn't!
😂😂😂😂😂
If you can do this why doesn't the law.
The answer is that they do. I see loads of likely officer reported drivers in the FOI spreadsheet.
It's ironic, they invent the mobile phone then invent a law that stops the use of it whilst you're stationary in your car. Seems ok if you're cycling though, breaking every law in the highway code. Perhaps you'd serve your fellow man better by walking along these traffic jams with advice instead of collecting car numbers to clog up the courts.
No cycling laws were broken there. Tut tut.
Well you're a wonderful human being aren't you.
The idea that anyone anywhere could video you any time takes all the fun out of anti-social driving. The sense of paranoia really eats away at you.
3rd party video reporting has exploded across the UK. In London in 2022 almost 15,000 such prosecutions were started. There are LOTS of people videoing and reporting bad driving.
the mobile phone law needs to be relaxed when held uup by traffic and not moving.. engine running is a bs reason to not use phone.. not all laws make sense
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. Notice how WFN364 (google for videos) drives forwards whilst looking at his phone? This is common behaviour from phone drivers. Here's an example someone else caught where the driver almost takes out a pedestrian at a crossing:
twitter.com/phonekills/status/1491526464520560641?s=20
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.

No, these prosecutions cost more than the fines and costs they bring in. Prosecuting bad drivers is a cost to society. And yes, longer answers are copy/pasterino because ain't nobody got time to type the same facts out to ignorant people each time.
Well it’s illegal to not ride your bike on a cycle lane isn’t
No, it isn't. Cyclists may ride on the road even if there is a cycle lane, and you still have to share nicely with them.
@@CyclingMikey oh wow that’s a bit annoying
Sure is. The cars can really get in the way!
Always with the "sTaTiOnArY" excuse. Whilst I respect your diplomacy, I think it dulls the message, and you need to be firmer and just two words: Still illegal.
Spot the emormous "whatsappgap" taking place with the van while you were dealing with the first driver too. I reckon that was a cert. Can't you get yourself cloned or something, Mikey?! 😄
