Yeah, that shocked reaction when I said that a mobile phone conviction would probably double the insurance cost. You can see her eyes get really wide when she was looking forwards when I said that. Once again a driver thinks cyclists aren’t allowed on the roads and have to use cycle lanes. Dear god, people. Share the road, you might be a driver but you own the road no more than any of us.

there is no excuse most cars have bluetooth now well done keep it up
IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE SHE CLEARLY DOES THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS LET’S HOPE SHE HAS LEARNT HER LESSON. 👍🫡
Get a life.
So some people say you should let people off if they are nice, or good looking. So does that mean only ugly people should be reported ?
Mikey I think she was into you. 😂
I'm always amused by how when you point out their wrong doings, they then become an expert on law and tell you that you are supposed to be in the cycle lane. Same thing happened with me and the two low IQ females used their combined IQ to argue that I shouldn't be filtering (even though filtering is completely legal here *if done safely of course*)
The problem with focusing on the phone (even when stopped) is that you start forgetting that you're driving sometimes. I've seen cases like that where the driver has forgotten to keep pressing the brake pedal and rolled into the vehicle in front. Other times they see cars moving beside them, think it is time to go and of course crash into the vehicle / pedestrian in front of them.
A quick chat with a whingeing cabbie then … 5 cars down – another miscreant
The classic 'You should be in the cycle lane'
Fair enough to chat with her and explain what she might risk.
And on it goes, people dont learn. Rather than say ok, they prefer to argue.
I’m just I’m just
Tell that to a person run over by a phone driver 🥷🏿🇬🇧
She was a good looker though wasn’t she 💥
Very nice car but irresponsible driving.
She was an attractive woman and I'd have asked her for her number. 😍
But yes, that doesn't change the fact that she was stupid for using her phone behind the wheel, and therefore, she must pay the price for her actions.
Probably updating her onlyfans
Well done Mikey😊
I agree, everyone must be treated the same, it’s only fair and right.
Another coconut 🌴
"Because…because….so many excuses, all ridiculous.
The mirror like shiny finish on her car was amazing!
As someone who filters – I’m so grateful for you doing this 😊
Gosh, the constant denial and deflection is absurd. Probably coupled with the privilege of driving an assault vehicle in an urban environment.
A good job catching these drivers. They are killers at the wheel
Modern cars such as the Merc in the video have apple/android car play where you can verbally dictate messages. There is no excuse to have your phone in your hand at any time
B*mbos will try all the stunts to get a result…never fall for the oversized eyelashes being fluttered….it's a deceptive facade…
Excellent
Swapping to reading glasses too.
well all credit to her she was polite and seemed to accept responsibility nice lady
She's been a self indulgent liar her entire life. Never cared about anything but her immediate sphere of interest.
The way she said thank you when he complimented the car, “….you didn’t make it ffs!…”
Not brave enough to do this where you come from?
Instant gratification, bet you change your pants 5 times a day?.
I don’t think you are a normal person it’s not something we all do
All your catches seem to be in very nice cars that you like
You really must have a very empty life if this is all you have to do!
🙈sadly she will only learn once fined and has points added.
You shouldn't distract people from driving bell end.
So you have a perfectly good cycle lane but you prefer to ride on the road in and out out traffic.
She needs to be orded to do her driving test again and she needs to be fined
Sure she was nice enough but she did try to deflect from her illegal phone use and came up with the old « why arent you in the cycle lane » trope, meaning.. « you have no right to come and talk to me ».
Dash mounted or switch your engine off
Quite right cycling mick, you cannot let off all the nice and good looking one's. We would get away with all sorts if that was the case. 😏😁
At least the law applies to police in the UK. Good luck in Canada, trying to report a cop using their phone while driving. They also type on a laptop while driving without fear of penalty.
I guess cops aren’t affected by the distraction like the rest of us!
They need to learn the easy way, not the hard way.
I noticed her phone is set to red/amber night vision mode. This is not needed during the day. At night it helps with visual acuity as all astronomers know. This shows she is probably a more considerate illegal phone texter when she does drive at night. 🤣
Thank CM
I feel I could learn a lot from Cycling Mikey and his polite friendly non threatening demeanour when dealing with infuriating behaviour. As a driver and a cyclist I am aware of the enormous amount of “entitlement” and frustration that comes with using a motor vehicle in the U.K. which frightens me when I am on the receiving end.
Cornwall Gardens is it?
