Anywhere on the roads these days, you just don't know which vehicle is being driven by someone NOT LOOKING WHERE THEY'RE GOING. It's madness. I wish a decent road safety campaign could persuade society in general that this is as nasty as drink-driving.
@@ianhill4585 Actually, yes, they are. Check the research done for the Institute of Advanced Motorists (online, search for IAM Roadsmart). Using a phone - even talking on one, let alone fiddling with it by your knees, causes driving than being over the drink-drive limit. It's one of those things that may sound a little crazy when you first come across it ...but it's true.
Another simple catch. All that traffic, and a bloke on a bike, who's not in any rush, can sail through the lot. It's not just phones we need to leave off.
I was about to make virtually the exact same comment re all that traffic and Mikey is able to get ahead of it all...and have time for a phone capture. It's uncanny how we both often think and comment the same way!
I used to cycle 9 miles to work. The secretary lived a couple of miles nearer and, despite passing me near the start of her journey, would find me enjoying my morning cuppa by the time she arrived.
It's easy for cars to do the same if the don't follow the rules of the road either. I could drive on the wrong side of the road too. I don't , not because it's a rule but out of consideration for other road users. Consideration is something cyclists and most car drivers don't have. Just another self important cyclist who thinks it's everyone else's job to look out for them while they do what they want.
@@shabadu11 False. You can't safely filter in a car because of your vehicles width and length. If you think Mikey is doing something wrong here you need to re-test. You talk about being "considerate" and then you make a massive generalising assumption - "Another self-important cyclist"... The work starts at home for you bud. You're looking for fault and blame where there's none to attribute.
@@CyclingMikey I think that was the case too so you could then say "I don't have a police ID" and he can be all default "get a life" or something. Whereas my narrative gives us one less person like that in the world. I want to believe people are better but they keep giving me evidence that they are not.
When they get caught out, their brain goes into something resembling the inside of a beehive and they just say something without any real thought process behind it. He may just as well have said "Can I have half an orange peel?"
I feel like his smirk at Mikey saying he's gonna report it to the police suggests, as others have, he is an officer, already. And that he thinks he'll be able to get away with it because of that. but I don't know how easy/likely it is for police to get given PCNs and fines for driving offences reported to their own offices?
Been driving route 260 along there for many years. If I had £1 for every time I've missed my green light turning on to A40 because of a pillock in front of me on their mobile phones reacting late, I'd be millionaire. Thanks Mikey for doing god's work, love to see at least a small amount of people getting caught who are using their phones.
Stationary phone drivers are still dangerous for many reasons: 1) The people using their phones when stationary are very often the same people using them when moving. They only put the phone down because I caught them. 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. 8) Parliament recently chose to strengthen the mobile phone law around stationary phone use because it's dangerous and the science supports this. 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.
Funnily enough, I though he himself looked like a police officer, as well as his demeanor. His "unmarked" blue Ford Focus kind of completed that image for me.
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.

Nice time of night for catching phone users eh? Not so dark that you can't see it's clearly the driver holding the device but the lit up screens really pop in the darker vehicle interiors. Odd request from the driver. I would have been tempted to respond "No, you can get on Grindr and join the queue". Suspect that would have flummoxed him! :D
I have a hard time understanding how anyone driving their own personal vehicle in London could possibly be "low income." But I do think it's fantastic that the ability to pay is considered in the UK. We need that in the US where we consistently exploit and abuse the poor with our broken judicial system.
The only thing I can think of is that he is probably self employed where income can vary wildly or he's out of work. There are some loopholes regarding income, typically only used by those stay at home mums driving their sugar daddy's Mercs and Audis.

If the police are caught using their phone while driving even once they should automatically lose their job and pension just like the taxi drivers lose their license if caught
It's going to get worse. The quality of 'professional' driving instructors is madness. Teaching their charges bad habbits; like parking far of the kirb. In the middle of the road, reverse parking, some time opp:- road juncions, and wrong lanes at junctions. And rights of way at junctions. The worst I have seen- accelerating to beat the lights and going through as it turns to red. That was a company!!

I’m guessing you’re free to do it here in the UK, because if you tried your shit in your home country ( SA with that shocking accent) , you’d have a fist in the teeth at the very least. I’m not a violent person btw, I just know at some point you are going to do this to the wrong person and it won’t end well for you. I think you know it too.
Actually Mike and thousands like him report illegal phone driving from all people, 'good' and 'bad' - it doesn't matter, you're all going to get 6 points if caught.
'Can I have your name and number?'.....what?!? What is he going to do with such details? Call you? Meet up and talk about being on a device whilst in control of a vehicle on the highway? Laughable. And low income driving a vehicle, much less a '69 plate?? Low income AFTER paying for everything else for the month?? 😆😆😆
*Wow!! Everyone needs to mind their own business. The car was stopped. PS - When someone makes an accusation to the police, it is heresay in court without 100% admissable evidence.

1. Car wasn't stopped, it was still being driven in traffic. Using handheld phones in such a situation is illegal. 2. There was actual video evidence of phone driving. 3. Weird that you're defending illegal behaviour. Thought you'd be all about people adhering to the laws or OUR country, no?

Are you afraid of being knocked out of your driving seat by a passing cyclist? It's very basic physics that explains why the law is that drivers must pass cyclists with 1.5m or more, and cyclists can filter closely past drivers.
@@CyclingMikey The law does not permit any vehicle to pass on the nearside unless in a separate lane which you were clearly not. Best get your own house in order. By the way a motorcycle does not have a driving seat! You are not the cyclist that was prosecuted by the police for submitting a video of a motorist which also showed the cyclist going through a red light are you.
Honestly I find you a bit creepy, watching the video of you riding your crappy bike looking in peoples windows, deliberately, not a cursory glance either, someone needs to challenge this behaviour, it’s an invasion of privacy,
It isn't an invasion of privacy: Bates v DPP 1993 "although the inside of the car is not of itself a public place, once the car is in a public place what was inside it was in a public place." Every day, cases are heard based on what was seen on the inside of a car, from a public place. Own your misdeeds.

Reported for blocking the road with your bike. If you want to play the game of policemen then at least be a policeman. You are not above the kings law.
I would advise against wasting police time regarding some imaginary traffic obstruction. That's probably the answer you will get from them anyway, ''trying to pursue this matter any further may go against you''.
Is there a charge for cycling on the wrong side of the road where road users could be? Is that not more illegal than being on a phone in a stopped car? Some laws need to change..

Why, it's easy to cycle away from a car stuck in traffic.
How much was the OP's fine?
Hard man
Keep crying that you got caught phone driving
That bloke was stuck in a queue and was endangering no-one. Entitled is not the word for that biker !
Stationary phone drivers are still dangerous for many reasons:
1) The people using their phones when stationary are very often the same people using them when moving. They only put the phone down because I caught them.
2) They are entirely unaware of people crossing the road around them. See here where a phone driver almost hits someone in the queue

See this other tweet where a 5 year old child is almost hit by a phone driver who was stationary:

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.
8) Parliament recently chose to strengthen the mobile phone law around stationary phone use because it's dangerous and the science supports this.
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.
Weird that you're defending illegal behaviour. Thought you'd be all about people adhering to the laws or OUR country, no?
If he was policeman I thought his paycheck would be very good and a police pension fund go with it. So why is he claiming hardship ?.
Using a phone while driving is right up there with drink driving, and both need to be punished big time.
Imo it's worse than DD, because your not even looking at the road ahead.

To be honest I would never give out private things like a phone number
Nice time of night for catching phone users eh? Not so dark that you can't see it's clearly the driver holding the device but the lit up screens really pop in the darker vehicle interiors. Odd request from the driver. I would have been tempted to respond "No, you can get on Grindr and join the queue". Suspect that would have flummoxed him! :D
I have a hard time understanding how anyone driving their own personal vehicle in London could possibly be "low income." But I do think it's fantastic that the ability to pay is considered in the UK. We need that in the US where we consistently exploit and abuse the poor with our broken judicial system.

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.
8) Parliament recently chose to strengthen the mobile phone law around stationary phone use because it's dangerous and the science supports this.
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
Hope that helps
It's like gammon bingo
You think overtaking should be illegal? How would that work?
Strange time to ask for someone's number. 🤣
The problem is against a humans brain the phone has full control the subject doesn't even know what he is doing. Most shouldn't even pass a test, how my wife passed is beyond me.
Hahahaha name and number pls No way. I like that he had his 6 points and on youtube marked as low income LOL
I'm glad i'm not in his shoes
Mikey you are just a legend! All these incredibly self-centred and utterly delusional people of generally below average intelligence will all cite the same excuse [I weren't even moving] HOWEVER they are the drivers that use their phones regardless, sitting in traffic or doing 40 mph, it doesn't matter to these incredibly selfish people. Keep up the brilliant work mate!
Hey cyclist, your on the wrong side of the road. Berk. Wannabe police eh. Sad, very sad.
No, I'm on the right side of the road - where you are supposed to cycle when filtering. Miser puer.
He's asking you out Mikey 😂
It sounds like he could have wanted the information, possibly for intimidation!!! Obviously you were not going to give out details. Driver needs to accept responsibility for his actions and stop messing around with his phone. Well done Mikey 👍👍👍
Mikey. You missed out here. I got a feeling he wanted to take you out for dinner ... 😍 He showed the look of love. x
Oh" name and number" while he's got his phone out!
He may have asked for your name and number thinking you were an undercover cop?
My name is Mr Jarce, first name Hugh.
There are cheaper, less dangerous, ways to flirt...
Why dont car makers have a mobile phone warning sound like they have for a seatbelt not being clipped in?
I'm worried about you saying you're going to tell the police.
That's unlikely to be met with appreciation...
British roads a disaster
we need more people riding miss Marple bikes
He thought you was a police man
Thats because he's impersonating a police man.
Thats hillarious.. surely he was joking!
He fancies you
He no right it's not a police BB iken
or copper....
Keep going Mikey, you're doing a fine job!
Should have said CyclingMikey c/o UA-cam
I thought it was Steinar Hovland at first
I think Tyson Fury can afford his fine!
Sounds like a copper.
I wonder if he meant name and badge number, thinking you were police maybe off duty?
Not in a position to make requests, is he.
Maybe it was a chat up line ?
