      @@sabni8668It's always the cyclists fault. I had one situation in which I was cycling to the cycle box at a junction, lights were red and the lead vehicle driver was typing into Whatsapp. I was next to their vehicle for a while and they continued typing away- clear use of the phone held in both hands. The lights changed to green and they sat there blocking the road, typing away, completely oblivious. I knocked on their window to alert them. It went to court and the driver's defence was that despite quite clearly being on Whatsapp they were actually "ringing their husband" and that the sole reason for their phone use (IE the reason them "ringing their husband" was okay) was that they were scared due to the fact that a cyclist had knocked on their window- ignoring the fact that that only happened after the phone use had been happening for quite some time resulting in quite evident impairment all recorded and played in court in 4k 60fps. You could see the magistrates trying not to laugh! Rather unsurprisingly it didn't work. Instead of taking the FPN and getting a small fine they got an even bigger fine and still got the points. Personaly I think they should have been given contempt charges- if quite clearly telling a pack of fibs and hoping that a magistrate is a gullable idiot isn't showing the court contempt I don't know what is.

    Looked a bright but chilly day! I don't get the "social media at the lights" thing. I have a small amount of understanding of people that unwisely use their phone in order to do something with navigation apps when at the lights (rather than parking up to do it) but social media? The one that annoys me the most is Instagram as it's mostly vacuous at the best of times. Call me strange but I've never felt a sudden requirement to look at an Influencer's recent holiday posts while driving. Hopefully though the 6 points sting more when the phone use was for such a superficial reason IE was it really worth it? I guess that's for the phone drivers to decide when they get their next insurance premium (assuming they're not on the big red car replacement service).

      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.
