where`s this guy been hiding for the last few years……………….in a coffin ?
Old school excuse.
A woman outside my work place drove straight into a trolley and damaged her car last night , she got out saying i wasn't looking as i was on the phone
Mikey's good work has I'm sure made cabbies and others to be more focused on their driving and the law.๐ฆ
my money was on the merc!
I know it's not unusual to hear an accent in London, he could be a tourist but it's no excuse. You should always check to rules of the road in the country you're visiting. It would be like us driving on the left in Europe and claiming we didn't know you're meant to drive on the right
Best to Look up the highway code before you crank her up twinkle .
I saw one scrolling through his social media posts t'other day … "I'm not making a phone call, so it's legal", he said. Ha! Tell that to the judge!
Canโt imagine the evidence in this case, could be any better. ๐
There's ignorance of the law and there's feigned ignorance of the law; good thing neither constitutes a valid defence.
An expensive habit
that seatbelt is there for a reason, that is another 3 points.
โBut I wAS stAtionarY!โ
Every driver I see using a phone in traffic (which is almost every third these days) is STILL using their phone when they start driving off.
Insta-bans needed.
"To look up things…"
I bet after this he looked up the consequences of "looking up things" lol.
Thanks CM๐ด๐ปโโ
As there is no such thing as Police anymore people just make up their own laws. Why doesnโt the mainstream news just do a story about the laws involving phones and cars. People who watch YouTube know the laws, people who watch mainstream TV just donโt have a clue about anything thatโs going on in their own country. Except all this woke (divide and conquer) tactic and wars in foreign lands. Itโs our country thatโs going down the pan faster than a Bugatti Veyron.
Well he may not be aware of the law ๐คทโโ๏ธbut thatโs no deference ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐๐๐ซต
I love driving while being on my phone
Surprising how ignorant people are, claimed he wasn't aware that he shouldn't be using his phone in traffic.
I do think the Government should be putting out more of a public campaign to educate/remind public of mobile phone use whilst driving. Akin to drinking/drug driving, driving whilst tired. These are all potential killers on the road.
Imagine being this much of a prick
The only looking up you should be doing is at the road in front of you ๐ Pretty sure he was pretending he didnโt know the law too ๐คฅ
Hey Mikey, you apologised to that driver and said "Sorry".
You have nothing to be sorry about.
Keep up your good works.
By his response he doesn't know the law. He will find out the hard way. Well done Mikey.
"just a little spring cleaning, going to alphabetize my '77-'78 tax receipts before I put a shine on the silver, don't mind me." Thank you, Mikey, I hope that he has reprioritized his attention when behind the wheel.
no seatbelt either
He was looking on his phone to check if it was illegal to use your phone while driving
He might have been looking up the Highway Code (just to check you know) ๐คทโโ
Ignorance of the law they should not hold a driving licence !!
What an awful unsafe car to be using your phone while driving.
Tell them to look up CyclingMikey
Rare to see an โhonestโ mistake these days regarding phone use whilst driving but I genuinely felt this guy just didnโt know.
Discretion was hopefully used in this case & the driver issued advice.
He doesn't know the law? Has he just arrived from the Amazon?
