You think you’ve seen everything going on behind the wheel. But today the girl in the car in the lane next to me, was putting on her mascara. Seen before but this time not one handed but both off the wheel. One hand on the rear view mirror and one applying the mascara. She’ll look great in the morgue anyway.
They won’t be told that they have done wrong. So, yes need to be reported. These are the type of drivers that won’t learn because they think they are such great drivers when they are clearly not.
2 yards = 1.83m. That was clearly NOT that much space he left. So he can’t judge distances.
Looks very much like a Prius to me, and that combined with Uber oft makes for a poor standard of driving in my experience taking trucks through London. More hassle from Uber Prius drivers than any other, but that May just be down to a proliferation of them rather than a generalisation of them being awful drivers.
Rest assured, if I’m in a badly driven car, I Will challenge the driver! (I’ll also challenge a profiteering cabbie taking me on a circuitous route in a quiet time:- £15, on the meter when we got there, & the route they were Going to take would have made it £30, they got a £5er and that was generous cos the night before the reverse was £3.90!)
Uber should look at his suitability as a driver.
At one point he looked to be closer than 12" to you.
He forgot you you were there and just moved over
Its Gliding Mikey the eye in the sky !!! This driver did no way expect to get a letter arrive, it all came flooding back when it hit him, 10 years he been driving, whoop de do, 10 whole years and still drives like that.
And the incredible irony is that he had to wait at a red light anyway. What's his big rush versus your safety?
I have been reporting incidents on British transport police's website but they don't reply or anything, do you know why this is!?
What a bipp stay safe from Denmark
This level of ignorance infuriates me wasn’t close… but if you had fallen from your bike you would have been between the front and rear axels before he could stop
Drivers, please think!
Interested to know what 'harami' means
Surely the correct response should be ' I'm very sorry, I didn't realise I was so close to you'. Instead of arguing? Another dick😐!
Some people only learn the hard way! If he has genuinely apologetic and seemed to take your views on board, do you think you'd have reported him?
I'm not entirely sure but I think I would
Space invader 👾
Harami 😂 absolutely hilarious
CyclingMikey: Personally your camera angle on the back is crap and I think it should be positioned to include the wheel in the frame! That said, it's clear as NIGHT and day from the helmet camera footage when you were forced to turn your head due to the silly driver that was far too close to the rear of your bike. I am also pleased that you got the result on the driver too! Keep up the good work!!
Never thought I'd see Taaj Manzoor in a road rage incident. 😂
Er kann uberhaupt nicht fahren.
I would send this video to Uber if I was you… I priced a taxi driver out of the road recently, after he parked on my bumper and acted like a complete moron.
Absolute war zone trying to cycle on those kinds of London roads
I think he probably reached for a comforting lollipop 😂
Toyota types.
In personal relationships his distance dysmorphia must’ve caused him lots of embarrassment.
wat een gigantische hork, zelfs in Amsterdam tijdens het spitsuur rijdt er geen enkele auto zo dicht op het achterwiel van een fiets!
ik maak het zeer, zeer zelden mee dat een auto mij zo dicht benaderd tijdens het rijden (en ik zit vrijwel dagelijks op de fiets)…
allicht is het een gevolg van het feit dat ~90% van alle automobilisten ook wel eens fietst.
ik hoop er op dat hij voor het hekje komt te staan en dan zo bijdehand doet tegen de rechter.
Show us the proof
Objects on the 📸 are often far closer than they appear on the footage. I have seen enough evidence elsewhere to know this. Mikey wouldn't make a false representation.
Just a polite bit of education. There is no such thing as an uber (small "u") driver in London. They are PHV (private hire vehicle) driver's who elect to take some, or all, of their fares from the uber app / operator. Outside of London it may well be a different matter, in the meantime be safe and take care…. LT.
They’re always cocksure them ones with the weird little beards
all this video did was make me wonder what a gliding competition is..!
I really thought that the final clip would be of him removing the phone from the mount to answer a call.
Harami is either a type of Japanese candlestick pattern or a person who has done something haram; a sinner (in case you were curious like me)
Used to have the same type of person on m62 . For some reason he fought he could cut in after coming on too the motorway he was lucky not to end up under my rear wheels .
So nice work mikey 👍👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🍡🍭I do hope he likes they Lollipops it’ll keep them calm when he’s doing his course😂😂😂😂😂😂
at 31/32 seconds, hes about 6 inches off your back tyre id guess.
If you break down on a clear way would you get fined? I’d like to think not as it’s not your fault if you break down.
This reminds me why I have never, and probably will never sit my arse in an uber.
I dont see any issue here, mikey looks line on his period again.
Congratulations.
"Harami" lol you said "tawbah tawbah" in another another video lol. Good to see that not only do you know some urdu but you know how and when to apply it lol.
Do you get actual confirmation of these points or awareness courses or do you jus assume
What an absolute dangerous uber driver, people like that shouldn't be on the roads.
If that wasn't an experienced cyclist like Mikey the distraction alone could have been lethal. What's worth the risk, seriously.
So, another NFA.
