Title is sarcasm. Of course I’m watching out when I filter. I’m not just looking at drivers on their phones, I’m looking all around me, and I expect pedestrians to cross. This is one reason I filter quite a lot more slowly than other people. Another reason is that I’ve learned that slow filtering when looking for phone drivers,is far safer for me personally and for others, and my journey time remains unaffected.

Well done Mikey, but I feel a bit sorry for him. I know, I know, he's guilty…
Hope you and all your viewers enjoy your weekend.
As long as you post new vids we know you are still alive.
Excellent work yet again Mikey 👍🏻🚲✊🏻
Another totally avoidable and expensive life choice for someone 😮
🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤷🏻✊🏻
unfortunately if you let one person off, you have to let them all off
0:00 You could just ride on the other side of the cones. 😀
Why not let your passenger operate the phone?
Another new arrival showing no respect for the UKs laws.
I know you report all use to the police, no issue with that. I wish the police would follow them all up too OR follow up only the most blatant, most rude people. This was at the very minor end of the scale and he gets 6 points, we have seen much worse on this channel and they seemingly get away with it. Sad really.
Seven inconsequential words or more for the algorithm. Slava Ukraine ! 🇺🇦
A 2011 car which have got to be amongst the newest models of cars not equipped with their own built-in satnav system. Hopefully this iproblem will soon be a thing of the past.
What’s the difference between him looking at his phone in traffic and you watching him to see what he’s doing while also in traffic? You’re both distracted — and both equally guilty. Plus have you ever stopped to think that by calling someone out like that, you might actually be making things worse? Shaming or provoking someone behind the wheel can lead to more dangerous driving, not less. You come across like you're on some moral high horse, but it’s clearly more about stroking your ego than genuinely caring about anyone’s safety. This has nothing to do with real concern — it’s just performative
So his excuse was he was looking at a map, but you have a passenger with you who also has a phone, and they can't give you directions?.
Whats confusing is why do the councils create those unofficial pedestrian crossings. Pedestrians think they have right of way and as it’s not an official crossing so do motorists. Why not just make a pelican crossing there?
Good (nice) people do bad things. Doesn't make them bad people but then them being good doesn't made the bad thing good……. There are so many phone drivers out there I now have to grade them by severity and focus on submitting only the most egregious. Personally therefore satnav while stationary wouldn't cross the threshold. It is in some way related to the act of driving and isn't occurring in motion. Still clearly illegal and certainly results in subsequent danger to other road users- the stratification is more a function of the sheer number of drivers out there on their phones (compared to the amount of time I have available for submitting videos, going to court etc etc) rather than a sign I approve such use. Sadly the message hasn't yet got out to the phonezombies and use remains fairly prolific. Despite the higher threshold yesterday I still filmed 5 drivers using their phones in a hour cycle ride in which the evidence was court-grade. That's plenty enough as it is!
Nothing worse than a grass
I like those Daewoo made Chevrolet Orlando's
Why should he report people discreetly? He is showing up the trash of society and besides he makes money out of it.
Snitches get stitches , what a woke wang this cyclist is looking into every car like he’s god, wanker
All silly excuses.
So…… the passenger cannot operate a phone or navigate?
Excuse invalid 😮
Get a life
You definitely got rejected from the police 😆😆
No excuses whatsoever. Park up, if you want to use your phone!!! 🙄
Who the he'll do you think you are. Concentrate on the road and stop looking for problems you sad little man.
*The title of this video is misleading, and a lie.
This cyclist is tops when it comes to being safe.*
Back In ancient times, the passenger of the car would be holding a Road Atlas.
Today, though times have changed, the passenger should still be finding the directions
Luckily, you were there to remind them.
Two people in the car. Let the passengers hold the phone! 🤦
So the Brit’s are now eager to snitch on people for, why ? The government is not your friend and when they start forcing you to take the mark on your wrist or forehead will you snitch on the ones that want to trust God instead or will you run to tell the government ?
Even if the passenger was holding the phone it can still be an offence if they distract the driver
Well done, Mickey keep up the good work
The day is coming…..
I don’t understand the title of this video, Mikey 🤷♂️.
Don't be so impatient Kagalkopf!
why did you murder this child? "I was just looking at the map" ok, you are free to go
Useful idiot, a leftist running dog, would sell his mother out for sixpence.
