The cab driver behind didn’t do anything wrong, btw, but whilst she was happy to turn her dashcam attention onto me, she seemed much less happy when I showed her presence on my cameras.

Great work Mikey.
Another one bites the dust.
Excellent catch, Mikey.
From the entire observed part of the journey here, she struck me as an habitual user of her phone when driving.
She'll probably shrug off the fine, but maybe, just maybe, 6 points will break the habit.
Brilliant mikey
Anyone who has riden a bicycle will know just how dangerous it is when faced with an inattentive driver. If you’re sending a message when you’re stopped, then you’re waiting (and reading) for the response and it’s those moments that are so dangerous. I think you’re brave to be doing what you’re doing and just don’t understand the negative responses. They’ve broken the law – not you. Keep it up ❤
Another Mercedes!
I wonder how many of these phone drivers would be happy to go into surgery and for the surgeon to use their phone sporadically throughout the procedure
Waves hand shoots forward: no check to see if it’s clear first. That is why it’s so dangerous
Hey Mikey, why are most of these videos from 2022? Do you not have any recent content to publish?
The overused word "multitasking" has become the bane of modern society. We should stress the word "concentration" or "focus". Too many people think they can multitask when they are driving. They want to smoke, text, chatter, cut deals, buy stocks, etc when they should be focussed on driving safely. BTW, saw a guy on his cycle talking on the phone. So it's not just motorists.
|when i did my BIKE license, i was learned to drive correctly from the left road by the road/ pavement by about 2ft….
You had to be safe, driving correct way…
However, you seem to be able to drive your BIKE anyway, from one pavement. Then across to a road. Then driving straight over to the RIGHT side of the road clearly to the forward cars coming straight to you.
Perhaps you need to LEARN YOUR BIKE TEST AGAIN!!!
You definitely not SAFE to other DRIVERS and PEADEIALS
As I had a massive stroke, FIVE years ago, i had to do the TEST to be able to make sure I COULD DRIVE as I had lost over 30% of my Left Hempishere due to the STROKE.
I can still drive a car,
But i am now mental illness due to the stroke.
SHOULD I NOW DRIVE a BIKE to look like you now!
Learn safe for drivers!!!!!!
You followed her for quite some time. Just shows you how unaware these drivers are about the surroundings. ⚠️
Same old
Do these idiots not know how to connect Bluetooth or something?,
Excellent catch Mikey ☺ Keep up the good work 🚴♂
You'll have to understand Mikey that these crappy cheap cars, even when they are almost brand new don't have bleutooth.
In reality it's more because with bluetooth you can only call and be called, but no "whatsapp" or even "youtube", so these poor people are forced to keep their phone in their hands and risk the loss of 6 points and a small financial fine.
Most judges will surely understand that these people can't wait until they are safely parked legally to use their phone .
Totally amazes me that she can drive like a total eejit yet be so totally unashamed. Like many others, she should be banned for the same length as a drink driver.
What was the issue the cabbie had with you then? Surely they are in favour of stopping illegal driving behaviour as it makes the roads safer for everyone. Maybe they're a superfan?
0:18 that looks like horse shit on the LHS of the road
Women just can't stop talking 😀Well done Mikey.
A carefree Sunday driver, thank you, Mikey.
Mikey can't do it all himself. I just hope there are others like him that we don't hear about.
Drivers these days just don't seem to care if they get caught…Well they will when they get banned….nice work mikey as usual…stay safe good man.
Obviously the punishment is no deterant deterrent.
Another Driver who does not care, and was dismissive of your pointing out She has no legal right to be using her phone whilst driving!
Keep up the good work Mikey, keep it up bud
Good man, Mikey – and anyone else doing this. These people, by their actions, are saying the law doesn't apply to them. In my experience, these are not the only laws they don't care about – and by no means are they all driving laws.
I can think of several things people do where they would never dream of using a phone at the same time. And none of them are as dangerous as driving!
🥱 that old unlawful excuse. Enjoy the points, fine and insurance hike. Make sure you aren't moving when you open the letter.😂
I personally believe this Site ( Mikey ) is a very serious Site. Unfortunately i find the unnecessary Music some sort of cheap dumbing-down, somehow it takes the seriousness out of what is a very important issue ( just asking/saying )
Anyway, Peace to all.
it really annoys me when i see people on there phone when im driving and get to a junction and look in my rear view i can see certain drivers look down which means they got there phone between there legs
Clearly, noting attention to their surroundings. 🚙 v 🚲
Such an easy catch some people are truly stupid 😢
Brilliant work ❤
The way she waved good by after she was told "I reporting you" she did not care.
I bet she is regretting it know
Mikey, your handlebars look like mine. Is yours a Raleigh Motus?
Please show recent videos not 13 months ago
Well done Micky 🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🇬🇧👍👍
When you catch them and they have that negative attitude the points and fine should be higher
She seemed to say “I don’t care about the fine or points”. Money to spare I guess.
