It is good to see the progress that has been made in driver attitudes. From many drivers passing by giving you grief, to so many passing calling out nice comments. The less other drivers tolerate the poor driving of certain individuals, the safer the roads will become.

Never, in the history of Gandalf Corner, have so many, been stopped by so few. This has to be up there in the 'best of' Cycling Mikey videos so far. Not only did the Merc pillock break the law, but there must've been at least another 4 or so similar pillocks behind him, all on the wrong side of the road and all causing danger and a traffic jam because of their selfish and irresponsible driving.

Someone should report him to the Police and use that evidence. Also ignored is the Law breakers on cycles doing just the things he is ranting about.

These videos are right up my street - I feel like you and I could be friends, Mikey. I'm a driver rather than a cyclist, but I get incredibly frustrated with bad and dangerous driving. I've submitted a few dash cam videos to the police myself - there's no excuse for dangerous driving. Keep it up, and ignore the haters - you're the one keeping others safe!
@@CyclingMikey I hope you've left enough room for a double pushchair to pass by without having to step into the road, whilst your blocking the public footpath with your bike gear
What confused me is why they are all so bad at reversing. It's not that difficult and a very necessary skill. How did they ever pass their test with such bad reversing skills?
That part of the video (around 9 minutes) shows why the behaviour of all those drivers attempting this manoeuvre has no justification. I wonder how many of them know they'd fail their driving test if they did it.
Well done mate, you did the right thing by stopping these bad drivers from going on the wrong side of the road, plus I’m a big fan of you so keep up the good work mate.
I dont understand why the council or even the police, have done anything about this corner, with all these drivers ignoring the keep left sign. I think there a fatality waiting to happen here with a cyclist, and as the cyclist turns left, is met by a car coming up the wrong way This corner has been so documented by CyclingMikey, and if a cyclist lost there life here, would think the council/police could face a huge compensation claim against them
@@gavjlewis Where are you going to put the turn right lane? On top of the pedestrian island? why should pedestrians be made to suffer because drivers can't follow basic signage laws?
@@slacko1971 Yes put a right turn lane in and a pelican crossing. This will increase pedestrian safety. There is clearly a problem that needs resolving. Besides I'm not sure all the congestion is all that good for pedestrians or cyclists as it currently stands.
I'm not a Londoner and have driven driven in London but the thing that would annoy me is that even though they're reversing back and joining the queue, these bad drivers are cutting back in further along the queue then where they started. If you were to pull these antics at a theme park people would have something to say about it (especially the ones caught in these videos) great work though Mikey. People need to be held accountable for their actions.
There are hundreds of roads where taking this sort of 'short cut' is possible but to even attempt it is so criminally wreckless it should be met with a harsh punishment
It's amazing how interested people in this country are with other people's employment status. I assume it must be all the right wing media brainwashing about scroungers.

@Dr Diablory 50% of people can't even manage 5 gcses. When you consider how easy they are, that's quite shocking. The level of stupidity and rudeness nowadays never ceases to amaze me. This mikey guy should learn some self defence as you nevr know what some of these morons might do.
Ironically, the same turgid crap is most often parroted by people who give vox pops whilst hanging around shopping centres on a weekday. Why this sainted 'work ethic' is treated with such reverence by the very people it holds down is beyond me.
Clearly a notorious junction for driving on the incorrect side of the road, and around the other side of the crossing!? Well done and thank you for what you do…
I really like the way that this person, stopping the cars, has positioned his bike on the edge of the pavement to stop people driving along it when they want to pass.
And he doesn't think that he will be the one who will get in trouble compared to the passenger. Same goes to passengers wearing a seatbelt, you can't blame the passenger but the driver
When many people are caught out, they will try to rationalise it with the first bit of vaguely logical rubbish that comes into their heads, in order to convince themselves (and others) that they were perfectly justified in their wrongdoing. I respectfully submit that this driver's excuse was a textbook example of the above.
Wading into the thick of it. Gandalf corner extravaganza. Thank you for the continuity of all of them in near real time. Good going, Mikey, all the best regards to you 🙏
Just a question. Why does TFL not put a CCTV camera there and pay some idiot to sit there and watch the screen? They could note down the reg numbers of folks who risk other road users lives by carrying out this dangerous maneuver, and fine them too. It's no different from box-junction cameras, is it?
When privilege goes off the scale! I've never seen so many queueing up to break the law! Still, it's very gratifying to hear positive comments from motorists. That's improved since you started this.
Gotta hand it to you, it's gutsy to stand against the little wrongs of everyday life like this. Very few people would do what you do. Thanks for your courage!
They are obviously bad drivers from what they are doing but for most of those featured here they are bad drivers in general. It's fun watching how bad they attempt at reversing and rejoining the cue. Very poor driving still.
The dog in the Smart car at the beginning should have been properly restrained in a harness - Rule 57 of Highway Code. He can get points for that as well as the phone use
I don’t understand why people do this, just wait ….. it’s really not that difficult it’s a normal turn into a side road. The traffic is not at a standstill, so you’ll get there😂
What makes me laugh is how they all say your the A hole or stopping them and you have no right to to it. Also that they will never admit they were in the wrong that it was not their fault etc or try some excuse to make it sound reasonable to do such stuf. Think all should get ines AND driving courses where they have to sit through watching the eects o head on crashes as they free the people trapped in the cars. I bet if they ever saw how even a low speed head on can cause bad injures they would if decent humans never do it again especially if they had to sit with a victim for an hour or more as the rescue people work to free them and secure them before any real meds can be given. I was lucky early in my driving career that I was first on scene o bad accident and had to sit with person trapped in their car for an hour while rescue got there and got them free. I say i was lucky because during that time i heard how accident happened and how a simple easy made mistake had led to loss o control and ended with the scene i found. That hour changed my life as i always drove much diferently after that.
It’s simple, I don’t have hands free, I’ve got an old car, my phone stays in my pocket when I’m driving. If people did that they wouldn’t get 6points……
Mounted on the dash may be legal, but it's still far from safe. It's not safe to be doing anything else at all while you're driving. Mine goes in the car boot or in the motorbike pannier, so there's no way I can be tempted.
Love how the lady black hackney driver giving you compliment and you returning them enjoying the videos,also makes you wonder how people actually get given driving licences for their attitude towards others we have plenty of drivers here especially private hire drivers that drive at unsafe speeds risking others and still do not know the area properly for a pick up job
I love it when they try it on and immediately go back. Such a dangerous corner, I hate going around it for fear of head on crashes. Keep up the great work
You should definitely try to get sponsorship from insurance companies. The amount of extra money you generate for them I'd say they owe you. Have a great weekend.
Just found your vids on tik tok and followed gutted there was only 6 videos available so found you on here and subscribed. Love it you do a fabulous job 👏
The traffic that drives straight on through the crossing ends up facing a traffic light which turns green for about 10 seconds. Thats why you get the traffic buildup. It is just bad road design.
Can you please start reporting the cars driving on the footpath trying to get around the cars that decide to go on the wrong side of the road? They’re equally breaking the Highway Code surely? Seems so dangerous.
GORT from..... The day the earth stood still, should be on patrol at this location, HONESTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE DRIVERS, are they on drugs or alcohol or seaweed or sherbet or moondust.
When I passed through London a few weeks ago from Lichfield I was more disappointed that I didn't have enough time to visit Gandalf Corner than I was to miss Buckingham Palace 😅
Well done Mikey keep doing this. The police should install a camera at this junction to catch these imbecile's that think the law doesn't apply to them.And nice to see other drivers supporting you too.
@@Skatted It would never cover its cost because the government actually loses money on these cases. The fines are far too small for the amount of people and time involved.
Great entertainment at that location. The diplomatic Merc thought it was too important to wait in the queue. I read that the X denotes non diplomatic accredited personnel.
“Naughty Little Blighters!” Love it :-) There are so many things I would like so say to people like this, but nine are polite. Keep up the great work, Mike!
Well done Mikey 👏. Guy in diplomatic Mercedes knows he is immune from prosecution, so just ignored the road sign. Be careful though, as he'd be immune from running you over too. You amaze me with how many languages you speak 👍
Mikey you are amazing, and very brave. You do the community a great service. I was knocked off my bike 2 years ago by a phone driver, who ploughed through a roundabout not paying attention, and broadsided me. I'm sorry to say I haven't cycled since, as I'm not as brave as you. Maybe one day I'll ride again. Keep up the great work, please stay safe. It would be great to speak to you. Wonderfully refreshing channel. God Bless you Mikey.
Finally! One car stopped to block the wrongdoers. Why do so few people believe in standing for the principle of right? If the first car going down the street the right way had stopped in front of each car going the wrong way, Mikey would not have to worry about being there. Good grief, people! Stop going around, driving on the sidewalk, destroying it too! Stand for right!!!!!!!!
Right & Wong is written deep in our sych our conscience by our maker god almighty who wit his laws into our hearts sadly people choose not to listen to their conscience.
And the arrogance just goes on and on! Nice "haul" but i think a simple 4 week ban would prevent any of these drivers from doing this sort of manoeuvre ever again!! Keep up the good work!!
2 points: One the Council should re paint the sign on the road, IE look BOTH ways, 2 why aren't the Police, Traffic wardens monitoring that junction? No body wants to take responsibilty for this type of traffic violation or indeed give stranger penalty (loss of licence )
Was there an international bad drivers convention at Gandalf Corner? I did not receive notification about it. If I had known I would have set up a small stand selling Cycling Mikey souvenirs and coffee to to delayed drivers. Keep up the good work!
I fully back what you do Mikey, and certainly enjoy seeing your videos, But I wonder if these people ever learn their lesson from your encounters or does it turn them more anti-cycling? Are you ever contacted privately by the drivers?
Don't be silly, the guy at 9:57 was just asking "Who are you?". You were just reading out his registration for no reason. That's a ridiculous thing to do.
That would be a PERFECT spot for a ANPR camera, they'd make thousands each morning. Then you could monitor another spot...📸
Very true. Most of those that have been reported have not been prosecuted. I guess it’s because it’s a rich area.
It’s unreal. This guy has made public an issue here with this junction, a small camera resolves everything.
@@skysatshop5185 it's more fun this way.
Or a very obvious ‘no entry’ sign.

It’s ironic when people say ‘get a job’ when they’re literally giving you content to post on UA-cam that you can then monetise lol
Like 'I am at work. This is what I do' XD
What a smorgasbord of interactions!
One of the best videos yet.
Keep up the great work Mikey!
LOL at the car at 11:00. Tries it, sees you and immediately was like "aww hell naw" 😂
hehe that was a great episode! amazing how many did it in such a short space of time
I never know why other drivers let them back in
Love how the lady black hackney driver giving you compliment and you returning them enjoying the videos,also makes you wonder how people actually get given driving licences for their attitude towards others we have plenty of drivers here especially private hire drivers that drive at unsafe speeds risking others and still do not know the area properly for a pick up job
They are in the wrong and you are in the right! Say no more. Keep up the good work.
I love it when they try it on and immediately go back. Such a dangerous corner, I hate going around it for fear of head on crashes. Keep up the great work
Why do ppl still drive cars in London? Seams like a nightmare.
Why don't they put a copper there he or she would easily pay for the wages in fines
Fines do not go to the Police.
You should definitely try to get sponsorship from insurance companies. The amount of extra money you generate for them I'd say they owe you. Have a great weekend.
Just found your vids on tik tok and followed gutted there was only 6 videos available so found you on here and subscribed. Love it you do a fabulous job 👏
I look so forward to these videos as I have a small (but happy) life and these little pleasures enhance it further
This made me laugh walks straight up to them 2 drivers and stands there telling them to move back no shits given hahaha 🤣 😂😂😂😂
You sometimes see the odd boy racer overtaking on the wrong side of a traffic island but why is it so common at that spot?
The traffic that drives straight on through the crossing ends up facing a traffic light which turns green for about 10 seconds. Thats why you get the traffic buildup. It is just bad road design.
Can you please start reporting the cars driving on the footpath trying to get around the cars that decide to go on the wrong side of the road? They’re equally breaking the Highway Code surely? Seems so dangerous.
Mikey deserves a big hug. Love your passion Mikey!
Right back atcha!
GORT from..... The day the earth stood still, should be on patrol at this location, HONESTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE DRIVERS, are they on drugs or alcohol or seaweed or sherbet or moondust.
When I passed through London a few weeks ago from Lichfield I was more disappointed that I didn't have enough time to visit Gandalf Corner than I was to miss Buckingham Palace 😅
No point going to Buck House shes not at home. lol
@@peterwright9546 lights are still on though
Come on Mikey let's start the enforcement camera campaign we will all sign it
Nice one Mikey! There’s no excuse for dangerous, impatient driving like this. Keep up the excellent work! 😁👍
thank you SO much for your service. London needs a thousand of you.
Well done Mikey keep doing this. The police should install a camera at this junction to catch these imbecile's that think the law doesn't apply to them.And nice to see other drivers supporting you too.
The camera would cover it's cost within a week.
Agreed why haven't they? Or even station one officer or pcso there, word would soon get around.
@@Skatted even just a simple morning I'd say
@@Skatted It would never cover its cost because the government actually loses money on these cases. The fines are far too small for the amount of people and time involved.
@@iddra1868 there would be no case, get flashed, get fined, pay up, simple, no appeals
The council should put an officer on there, it would pay their wage in the first hour with fines.
kudos to you Mikey, wow that was nearly a full-length feature film. BTW was that a Brompton b75 at rest on your trolley?
Great entertainment at that location. The diplomatic Merc thought it was too important to wait in the queue. I read that the X denotes non diplomatic accredited personnel.
What were the fines they all got ?
“Naughty Little Blighters!” Love it :-) There are so many things I would like so say to people like this, but nine are polite. Keep up the great work, Mike!
Well done Mikey 👏. Guy in diplomatic Mercedes knows he is immune from prosecution, so just ignored the road sign. Be careful though, as he'd be immune from running you over too. You amaze me with how many languages you speak 👍
Might not be immune from being found dead in his mansion, having “ committed suicide “.
Diplomatic immunity is usually waived for assaults. A Malaysian diploma recently got prosecuted for rape in New Zealand
Mikey you are amazing, and very brave. You do the community a great service. I was knocked off my bike 2 years ago by a phone driver, who ploughed through a roundabout not paying attention, and broadsided me. I'm sorry to say I haven't cycled since, as I'm not as brave as you. Maybe one day I'll ride again. Keep up the great work, please stay safe. It would be great to speak to you. Wonderfully refreshing channel. God Bless you Mikey.
Finally! One car stopped to block the wrongdoers. Why do so few people believe in standing for the principle of right? If the first car going down the street the right way had stopped in front of each car going the wrong way, Mikey would not have to worry about being there. Good grief, people! Stop going around, driving on the sidewalk, destroying it too! Stand for right!!!!!!!!
Right & Wong is written deep in our sych our conscience by our maker god almighty who wit his laws into our hearts sadly people choose not to listen to their conscience.
Yes, and a vehicle stopping makes it checkmate.
It's in All road users safety to object to
reckless driving.
That’s one of the great questions in life…
Is it better to be ‘right’, or better to be popular ?
Great work mate. I love the fact the majority off other drivers are showing you there support.
And the arrogance just goes on and on! Nice "haul" but i think a simple 4 week ban would prevent any of these drivers from doing this sort of manoeuvre ever again!! Keep up the good work!!
2 points: One the Council should re paint the sign on the road, IE look BOTH ways, 2 why aren't the Police, Traffic wardens monitoring that junction? No body wants to take responsibilty for this type of traffic violation or indeed give stranger penalty (loss of licence )
I always find it suspicious of those car drivers that carry a box of tissues.
There is a method using one-directional retractable spikes in the road surface. They can be pulled down by remote for emergency vehicles.
It amazes me that so many bad drivers give you bad comments when they are breaking the law, unbelievable 🙄
Was there an international bad drivers convention at Gandalf Corner? I did not receive notification about it. If I had known I would have set up a small stand selling Cycling Mikey souvenirs and coffee to to delayed drivers. Keep up the good work!
I fully back what you do Mikey, and certainly enjoy seeing your videos, But I wonder if these people ever learn their lesson from your encounters or does it turn them more anti-cycling? Are you ever contacted privately by the drivers?
Why were they not at work?
Don't be silly, the guy at 9:57 was just asking "Who are you?". You were just reading out his registration for no reason. That's a ridiculous thing to do.
Great to have a longer video! Keep it up. Have a great week!!
More selfish risk takers who seem to think their journey is more important than anyone elses. Bunch of whoppers. Well done Mikey 👍
Mikey thank you for keeping our roads safer and keeping these selfish drivers at bay
