Yesterday I drove a 550 mile round trip with maybe 50/50% motorway/A road. I “spotted” at least 15 illegal phone users at speeds way above those as seen by Mickey near Regents Park. Downright dangerous and deadly.
It’s gotten so prevalent nowadays with so little active policing - so please, please keep it up Mickey!
mmm. my new car has a 360 degree dashcam in where the record button records 30s either side of the button press operation. Curious how well it will pick up drivers on phones -if it does then whoever is in the passenger seat has a new hobby for motorway journeys: recording drivers on the phone....
I’m amazed that’s all you spotted
At least you in the UK have the ability to submit footage like this to court and they'll get consequences. In the US, nothing gets done _until_ someone gets hurt 🤕
I see it every day they are so casual about and thinking they can multitask.
I’ve found it’s really worthwhile investing in a dash cam, and sending it to the police online is pretty easy tbh. We shouldn’t have to do the police’s jobs but it seems the best way to make the roads safer for all of us
Loved the impotent shouting of the Van Lad. I could feel his rage. The type to instigate a physical confrontation if he was on foot.
I suspect he would be what Mikey usually describes as "all f4rt and no poo!"
confrontation leads to escalation. Why if you are going to exchange words. good to have an exit strategy. In smaller towns (bristol) you are also often likely to see the same drivers on the same routes again -which is why I've stopped with the conversations
@@doctorsocrates4413 I'm Uk too, so know it well. I just like Mikey's variant! 😁
@@doctorsocrates4413it's "all mouth and no trousers"
@@SteveLoughran They need to know they aren't invisible and should be shamed and prosecuted.
The taxi driver could not care less and with those passengers in the back, mother with her children can you imagen the truma she would have to deal with if they where injured or killed.
He deserves to lose his green badge.
*care less
@@andyroberts4387 How were you able to work out that there should have been a space there? That was incredible. I would not have any clue what that meant if you hadn't explained.
@@andyroberts4387 Try "carelessness"
@@itsonlyme9938Careless is a word but it makes absolutely no sense in this context. The phrase is “Could not care less”
@@itsonlyme9938I think it's you that needs to check their grammar
Just owning an Audi should be an automatic driving ban
They're definitely a menace to everyone.
I see those 4 hoops and immediately think... "What an A hole."
Ah poor baby 😔🍼 in the white van with his ego hurt . All they can do is shout abuse when caught. good one!
The only way they learn is by being prosecuted. When they receive notice of prosecution and realise what it was for, that’s the first time they will be regretting it.
When they see you filming them, all they do is hide the phone. I know it’s time consuming but keep it up!
If driving with no hands on the wheel, while looking down at your phone isn't an instant ban, it *_should_* be. Send some messages out to these people.
Great to see you in action again Mikey. Have a great weekend! Greetings from Stockholm
Nice catch, especially the angry troll in the van.
Mr Vanwanker turned full gangsta after Mikey pulled away.
Too cowardly to say anything to Mikey's face.
@@TenFalconsMusic Typical terminal insecure adolescent behavior.
.
I often wonder how many Audi drivers are now having to use public transport because they were acting like typical Audi drivers.
❓
if you are leasing the audi you even have to pay per month for the car. Maybe every new/leased car should include a free bus pass "you will need this"
Audi equals Aggressive Unskilled Driver Inside.
I don't know why people are so thick and constantly feel the need to use there phone while driving or stationary. it's still illegal weather your moving in traffic or not. i always turn my phone off then leave it in the glove compartment. I have no desire to use my phone while driving.
Tbh, the sooner these people get an automatic 12 month ban the better for all of us.
Plus the vehicle impounded on a truck, on the spot
throw em in jail too @@Roger-hq1yt
three culprits in one little queue? this mobile phone usage while driving is really getting out of hand. it's time now to update the law, much stronger fines are needed, and also temporary confiscating of phones. this is serious!
Am starting to like this idea, not only lose your car but your phone too
Lol yeah good luck - that would be completely unenforceable. Also it's not the fines being low that are encouraging people to break the law. Its the fact they think everyone does it and they will never get caught. If anything is needed it's better education and better ways of catching people. It's not about the law. Nobody wants a 300 quid fine, and nobody thinks phone use is worth that.
Van fella will be the pussy cat in court, meow sonny boy 🐈
Same in every queue in London. They should offer £5 a catch, it uses so much time reporting them all!
They've all got to do better, man! Especially the taxi driver.
My estimation of drivers on their phones at any one time is about 25%. Almost every time I stop on the road the driver behind are checking their phones. When they are driving behind you with their head in their laps is scary. I don’t know what the answer is to this dangerous habit. Anyway keep up with the good work.
12 month ban and £1000 fine.
The stroppy self entitled little child in his van needs to brush the chip of his scrawny little shoulder and grow up . Didn't get out of his van but was happy to use it to try and intimidate you
Brilliant work as always Mikey. Stay safe and hope they all get done.
Van driver appeared to be seat belt less!
Well, that's a decent haul. Van Wiener deserves a ban for that piece of bellendery - definitely likely to cause an accident, even if he's just trying to intimidate. A knob for sure. Taxi driver also deserves the book to be launched in his direction.
"Van Wiener"...good one!
Making the roads safer one car at a time!
or three in a row.
The Audi driver never even knew what was coming. 🤣
Horrifying to see a cab driver with children in the back using his phone. Truly horrifying what possible reason can he have? Surely the mother was aware of it and should have protested.
It is grossly unfair to discriminate against those using or holding Phones.....
I notice he doesn't pick on those that are.......
Smoking... ..
Drinking coffee or any other beverage whilst in control of a vehicle,of any description......
IS AGAINST THE LAW...........
Messing with sat navy,
Messing with your Barnet,
Or anything else that causes you to not have full control of the said vehicle...............
Unless the said action is involved directly with the operation of that vehicle.....
He needs to get himself a life..
And let other people get on with theirs.....😎
I now keep my phone in my pocket in order to not put temptation in my way. I have noticed several drivers leave a WhatsApp gap while waiting at the lights and a level crossing, too!
Mr. CA71FUD van is no longer taxed, should now be off the road like him.. All that shouting, anger, aggressive driving because he was caught breaking the law. Three in such a small line is utterly reprehensible.
Looks like it was for sale on Gumtree on 2nd June when I just did a search on the reg number. Advert no longer active so probably sold - hopefully due to a disqualification! Keep up the great work Mikey!!
🎶Another one bites the dust🎶
Use of hand-held devices appears to be an addiction.... 🤔
As for a cabbie conveying children let alone adults.... 😮
Keep up the good work Mikey! 👍
It would seem to me to be prudent, to sell all prestige German motor vehicles, with a six month driving ban.
So they deliver the car and you are automatically banned from driving it or any other vehicle for six months. Give them time to think about what they have done and why.
Luxury SUVs should probably come with a nine to twelve month driving ban.
First van wanker should've got the honour of the thumbnail
At around 2:15 big kudos at least to all the vehicles that calmly stopped to let you use the raised part of the roadway whilst you got back to your intended direct. Especially considering those raised parts of the roadway aren't actually "full on" formal crossings, though of course it's the decent and courteous thing to let folks cross there.
I believe elvis costello sang it best-
'Is it worth it,a quick candy crush and game of mah jong'
Of course they all will change in the end after they've lost their license and legally use their phones while being obliged to walk now, which will make the roads much safer.
For the ones still using their phones while driving, just be patient, one day Mikey will catch you, you've been warned.
If only the Met police would step up and do their jobs instead of relying on people like Mikey to do it for them.
Disgraceful.
Mikey is not alone; many, many others are doing the same thing. Excellent!
If it's any comfort to you CyclingMikey your reach is now long. I was driving a month or so ago (somewhere in the South of England) and I briefly toyed with looking at my phone. All of a sudden I thought of you and the 6 points, but more importantly, your message of how distracted mobile phone users are really got through to me so thank you.
He'd still have reported you he loves the power trip
@@kebabtime He didn't report a cabbie who pleaded with him on behalf of needing to work to help keep his family fed and homed.
I believe the chav in the van got close to call u a “low layf init”
The van driver had that giveaway cretin slump.
Why o why a Police Officer can’t do what you do on a full time basis. They would catch hundreds a day. Only then will people put their phones away. Stay safe Mikey👍🏻
i was thinking drones
They do. The bike police were in Regents Park the other day and I had a nice chat with them. Issue is they have to wear uniforms and so they get noticed and people suddenly behave. They did say, however, that a staggering number of drivers are so distracted by their phones that they don't even notice the high-vis policeperson on a bike next to them!
@JustSomeVideos0
Funny, of the hundreds of times I commute through Hyde Park each year, I've only seen Mikey catching phone drivers...never the bike police.
Rumour has it they're just out to provide a "physical presence" and not to actually police unless it involves harassing homeless people or picnickers.
@@TenFalconsMusic I'm just working on the information I obtained during my 15 minute chat with them about how many miles a day they ride, how many people they catch etc etc. I think they're out there but it sounds like more often in the West End.
So, to summarise, the van driver gets aggressive and drives in an intimidating way because you filmed him breaking the law. Quite a charmer. Keep safe Mikey, the roads a full of danger!
He is either having an affair or is a dodgy geezer upto no good. Talks like he is a gangster and deserves to have his licence suspended indefinitely for his obvious lack of concern for his fellow humans.
And the way he says "For what reason?" as if he doesn't know what he's done wrong 🤦🏽♂️
It's really quite appalling seeing so many phone addicts/ potential killers in just one queue of traffic.
Some good catches there Mikey!
0:38: May I ask, what is your opinion about smoking behind the wheel? IMO, this should be illegal as well.
Then you’d have to make any movement/motion that wasn’t for the purposes of controlling the vehicle illegal
@@lolitapitpong3826 Which particular other movements/motions that aren't "for the purposes of controlling the vehicle" do you mean? Also, what exactly do you consider "for the purposes of controlling the vehicle"? Only steering, gear and pedals? It depends on your definition of the aforementioned.
Mikey, your catches always seem so bewildered and shocked as if no one had told them about the illegal use of hand held phones when driving. It was the same for the legal requirement to wear seatbelts and for motorbikers to wear helmets I recall and took the inevitable and persistent fines by the police to reverse this. This was because it was obvious. Not so the use of phones, so well done for filling this gap.
The Three Phone Cretins. Sounds like a good movie but it's actually a horror show. 😮
At 3:13 you can hear him say "this is why I voted for Brexit". *facepalm*
Don't make the gammon angry!
@@benb950 Caution: may lead to volatile behaviour.
I wonder, did he vote brexit so he could get filmed on the phone, or because "it'll be illegal for cyclists to report drivers on the phone" was written on the side of a bus. Either way -all that anger isn't healthy
@@SteveLoughran The funny thing is many people voted for Brexit due to a dislike of liberal stances adopted by the EU on things like asylum and migration and yet on the YT videos about Farage's bank accounts being closed they're all screaming about "human rights" and it being against the ECHR!!!!! TBH I suspect the reason why he voted for Brexit (and certainly why he made a point of saying it to Mikey) is because he's a racist bigot.
@@SteveLoughran I think a bit of both really. Plus the "£350 million pounds a week to the EU instead of the NHS" could go towards helping him. Oops, it turns out that was a lie. Either way, he needs help with his anger issues.
#cyclingmikey pretty sure you should be obeying the keep left sign and it's corresponding line of cones and not ignoring them to overtake as you like?
Great work Mikey. but if our PCSOs come out on bikes no they will not keep up your great work
Mate love what you do. So calm I’d be losing my head in some of them situations. Fair play to you. Keep up the great work.
Thanks 👍
Cabbie in a Kinky Orange colour pretty sure that was not part of the 'Knowledge'
Good to see that actually quite a few drivers were driving very safely, i.e. stopping to let you across. Those three definitely all deserved what they got! The message is getting through!
In my experience, the majority of drivers will be courteous where the traffic conditions make it easy.
@@grahvis very true, good road and infrastructure design goes a long way.
theres no such thing as driving safely as the humans will find out shortly. oh look im not using my phone while driving so its ok lol
Well done Mikey 👍🏽. Love from one of your Canadian fans ❤️
Three more for your fan club Mikey, your club grows bigger every day. 🤣
"For what reason?" - this is why the world needs Mikey!
Some people these days 🤦♂️ could mature in road safety
I really wish manufacturers would start making vehicles that disabled phones once the engine was running and have it so they only work through the cars system for hands free etc... Maybe even have lower insurance for those willing to have vehicles/devices fitted that do this etc... I know we shouldn't have to but it would seem people will just not stop using their phones whilst driving and the law is clearly doing nothing to combat the problem.
Keep up the good work, Mikey!
Excellent work Mikey, in saving lives.
If Mikey can catch three, in one pass, the question is: why isn't there a bicycle police doing the same stretch, 8 hours a day? They'd easily pay their own salary and cost the taxpayer nothing, and immeasurably improve safety.
Nice one, Mike.
Three nice, easy sitting ducks, I hope the courts apply the maximum penalties possible.
Keep up the good work, and ride safe :-)
Anyone who uses their vehicle as a weapon or to intimidate/threaten someone should be banned for life.
Banned doesn't really count for much these days. So many disqualified drivers on the roads.
@@loftyintentions1985 Doesn't mean they shouldn't receive disqualifications in the first place. The next time they screw up, they'll be in even more trouble for driving with a disqualified license
@@SaltySeattleCyclist I wouldn't count a fine and a slap on the wrist as "more trouble".
I appreciate Mikey's dedication to rule following
Mental seeing cabbies who have put in 4 years of graft to get their badge + buy a cab for 40k+ throw it all away like this
Good going, Mikey.
Personally, I think this Audi driver got a sensible penalty which should be mandatory for this offence. Simplified, Drink Driving = min 1 year Ban, Phone Driving = Min 6 month Ban……. This way Mikey alone would cure Londons overcrowded roads single handed…. 😂😂😂
Man, 2:57 should be a ban in itself.
Intriguing that the passive (towards you, though clearly oblivious to anything but her phone screen) got standard penalty and 6 months disqual, while Mr Angry trying to intimidate you with his van (let alone mellow WGAF cabbie)keep their driving privileges (for now).
Notable that you're publishing in June 2023, with current January 2023 captions, but we regulars know you have family and work obligations to balance your YT editing with.
Great job Mikey!
She most likely already had six or more points on her licence.
The phone that they cradle so passionately in their hands is all they care about.
Nothing, not even the safety of themselves and others matters more to them.
The definition of a true addict... and they would sacrifice all else, just as long as their connection with Mr IPhone is not interrupted in any way.
So long as people think they won't be caught they will still do it. The best deterrent is to put up a sign saying "CyclingMikey is da house"
Do cabby’s have some weird halo above the cabs which says they can get away with phone use
What a shame that a member of the public (Mikey) is doing a job that Mr Plod should be doing on his pushbike.
The police do have a team on bikes looking for phone users / dangerous drivers etc. It's not a massive team. But they exist. It feels like the team processing the offences isn't big enough and therefore any additional personpower would be best placed there rather than seeking out more offences.
@@JustSomeVideos0 Never seen a copper on a pushbike for years 👩👩👧🚴♂️
@joeheaton4927
Hard enough for the Plod to find people within their ranks fit enough to walk 10 metres without fainting... Much less cycling.
When you do see them, they're usually harassing a homeless person or a family picnicking. Both of which I've seen them doing on several occasions. Easy targets that won't put up a fuss I guess.
One thing, there needs to be secure public parking for bikes and motorcycles.
Good on you Mickey it's never ending will they ever learn !!
Well done for calling out these "Mobile Muppets" - would be good to get a name going for these phone users - Mobile Muppets!
I’ve absolutely no idea why people who drive for a living risk their license, using mobile phones behind the wheel..??
Unsure what Angry Van Lad was saying at the end, but it should of been "Thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson"
It's an exponential danger. Potential for driver 4 (behind the white van) to beep when both fail to move - we've seen this many times in just your videos. This causes driver 2 to suddenly fill the gap after glancing up, driver 1 in the van does the same and rear ends 2. Mind you, that would be poetic justice but it's the other road users that have to worry. I'm glad you caught them all.
Brilliant 😂the disqualified woman must have thought what the he’ll I’ve done nothing wrong, then sees the footage, little boy in van , nuff said, as for taxi driver with kids in the back and a paying fair, should lose his license for sure, well done Mickey 👍
I see the white Citroen had a new V5C issued about 10 days ago.
I wonder of that means he got disqualified, and has had to sell it.
Keep up the great work 👍
When you first speak to these drivers, about 75% seem to be afflicted with 'sudden hearing impairment'. CM: 'On your phone?', Driver: 'Sorry/what/pardon?'
Just shows how bad the problem is, I see more people on the phone then not !!
If only there was a publicly funded organisation that could patrol the roads (like Mikey) and penalise people for illegal activities.
🤔
HE GOT ALL BALD WITH YA
Keep up the good work, Mikey.
The van driver is very naughty I hope his mum doesn’t hear about this she will be so disappointed she did not bring him up like that at all. After the trouble his brother got into you think they would be better behaved.
Do your know the van driver personally?
Keep up the good work.
This guy is like the Boogey man, dont you dare do something wrong ON HIS WATCH!
Mikey taking them out, one by one 🤣
Be careful when you're stopped talking to the drivers whilst stationary in the oncoming lane. those cars were coming past you at speed and they might not be expecting to mabouvere around a stationary cyclist👍
Good work 👍
September 2022 was a busy month for you!
You can bet your bottom dollar, if they use their phones in slow moving traffic, they also use them whilst driving at faster speeds..!!
They say it comes in 3's 😂
give them a £5000 fine and have their license taken away for 5 years,that will send out a strong message.If you get caught twice you have your vehicle taken away and crushed and your license taken away for ever.This country is too soft.
Six months off. Result
They should increase to an instant mandatory 6 months ban and 3 strikes your banned for life
Hattrick! You're on fire Mike👍🏿
It's concerning how many you got in one line
Nice catch
You should do this kind of stuff in Peckham.
Well done Mikey. Thank you for making our roads safer. Take no notice of the buffoon in the van.
Or rather, take extra notice. Haha.
Why don't the police put an officer on a bike doing exactly what your good self is doing ?
Even just for a few hours !
Smart phones are a massive addiction and huge distraction while driving !
Totally unexceptable !
Keep up the good work sir !
Because these days, finding a fit enough plod who knows how to ride a bike would be more difficult than raising the Titanic.
"Sausage rolls, doughnuts & Coke anyone?"
Little boy throwing his toys out of his pram because he got reprimanded over his phone use.
The law regarding phone use at the wheel has increased penalties several times. Clearly, the £200 fine and 6 points isn't a big enough deterrent. I believe it should be a 12 month ban and £1000 fine. The man in the white van is just a thug.
If only the understood they are being seen right around the world on top of the courts.
Well done Mikey! Busy day for scofflaws. The aggressive, arrogant, very guilty immigrant van driver was a classic. The snarly, arrogant cabbie also a classic twit. It's a prevalent addiction that must be reported. You saved lives. Thanks.
The only other way of stopping them and them being polite and deferential is for them to be next an observant police officer. I doubt if they'd be arrogant, angry or aggressive then. It's so much easier to be kind, polite and law abiding. Thanks Mikey!
