As a former police officer in London I think this guy is an absolute tool. The arrogance of this cyclist who’s taking the law in his own hands is an outrage. If he wants to be a traffic cop be one. He’s only doing this so he can film and make money from KZfaq. Worst kind of human and one day he’s gonna piss off the wrong driver

@@ianlishmund2200 former?

Thanks very much Robert! You can laugh at Ian - it's pure sour grapes. If I have the story correct he's the son of a driver who got convicted by one of my videos. Shamefully, that driver didn't show any remorse for his driving, having had a speeding conviction and a red light jumping conviction before he got the mobile conviction to take him to 12 points. He would have been disqualified, but was able to plead exceptional hardship. You can see comments from someone purporting to be the driver on the video for MV17BMZ with the same surname. At the time in court I felt glad he wasn't disqualified, but given those subsequent comments I'm considerably less impressed. I feel quite unimpressed at how that driver was unable to accept responsibility for his road pirate behaviour and wanted to blame everyone else but himself.

CyclingMikey calm down. He picked up the phone for a work call in a 15 mph zone for 10 seconds while backed up in standstill traffic. If disqualified that would have been career and home gone. You must be very proud of yourself. My comments have no baring on that incident anyways. I just don’t agree with the morality of what you do

Ian Lishmund But you’re relaxed about drivers approaching a junction on the wrong side of the road? Thank god you’re an ex-copper, stop digging!

@@CyclingMikey Smort is just a meme way of saying smart. It comes from the 'Stonks' meme, which is a play on the 'Stocks' word. Edit: I'm wrong, it's a B99 reference. My bad.

@@hasan_z IDK how it works in the UK but I think in many places you cannot record without consent. In my country there is a tv program that is kind of similar to judge judy in setup, and people basically sign up and agree in the hopes of getting their issue sorted out quicker.

Easier to kick off than reverse and be embarrassed

Thing is if she had just taken the L and backed up she would probably have got no points or fine and if she did it would be minor but the sense of self entitlement and gross stupidity cost her dearly. I would personally not bother with the manourve she tried especially somewhere as busy as London and on a turn that where the view is restricted and there is a central traffic island present since all these factors mean its very likely to backfire on you. All those issues I mentioned are before even taking into account the fact its breaking the law.

you totally underestimate how hard these people find reversing. They buy a massive SUV to feel safe but are completely clueless about reversing them especially in a stressful situation like this. Driver retraining should cover a new reversing test for them.

Thank you very much!

It called the magic foot syndrome. They can place their “foot” (desire/need/want) anywhere and those all around will bend to provide. It’s learned behaviour and it happens everywhere. NEVER reward bad behaviour as this is the type of character and personality that manifests. Despite the penalty awarded, I bet the driver still thinks that they are in the right

Exactly. I see that a lot in these videos. I’m amazed how many people swoop past the “keep left” sign (the clue is in the second word there) then say to Mikey “but I’m turning right here!!” with a shocked look that says Mikey is wrong and they are right!

She was in the right! ... Hand lane lol she be fine in America but not UK

l totally agree

I bet that people like her don't get called out for their crappy behaviour too often, behind the wheel of a car or in another social setting.

Narcissism and a sense of entitlement

See BBC doc it's all to do with territorial instincts "this is mine" "i want to grab that" " i am superior" etc. They can come to blows if necessary

She was going to turn at the start but obviously she changed her mind.

@@sandcroft2924 ..............I know i will probably get a lot of hate comments for this post - but I strongly believe this horrid mentality was as a result of Thatcherism. Thatcher's 'I, I, I....Me, Me, Me....Self, Self, Self mindset. Where you are judged by the amount of money you make, car you drive, clothes you wear, house you live in etc etc - rather than the kind of person you are. Where the poor and disadvantaged are demonized and being arrogant, uncaring and ruthlessly self-absorbed is lauded. Where [as Rutger Bregman rightly argues] making a genuine contribution to society is criminally under-valued and exploited, yet those in completely non-productive, worthless jobs are rewarded with obscenely massive salaries. This undeserved sense of entitlement deludes these people into believing that they are better than everyone else, are above the law and worse still [and something that evil bitch Thatcher was unrivalled in] the ability to NEVER, EVER admit you are wrong - even when it's patently obvious you are!

the way she waved her arms and hands around should have doubled her fine.....-)

that sure be 5 years banned from driving if someone go in the wrong line when other cars coming... also i sue them for assault

Just seen video from 2019,I used to do deliveries in London from Bristol twice a week,unbelievable ignorance from drivers and pedestrians ,people used to stop me taking turnings by walking in front of my small truck,they were in their own little world,didn't give a sh....t for anyone else,one pedestrian actually threatened me,but realised he would spill his expensive coffee,I went to open my drivers,he ran faster than Usain bolt,

More entitled but less inteligent

Yeah so true

I have driven round London and the north circular for 40 years in a liveried service van and in that time it has never been anything but appalling. There was never a golden age of driving in London in my lifetime, maybe the 1950s but after then its been bumper to bumper with cars. Cars seem to bring out the worst in some peoples personalities.

Entitlement ranking : 1) USA 2) UK and so on...

Your pfp is better

Absolutely spot on!

@Gulaid M Hahaha, no, he's referring to the doctors video. :)

@@MrAudienceMember2662015 NOOOoooo 😂😂😂

@@roberthill1586 I was thinking that watching - wondering if the complaining was "because I can't reverse". If you're unable to control your vehicle when reversing (because it's so large?) then maybe a) get a smaller vehicle. b) re-train c) both :)

I've noticed this too in a lot of the vids. Mikey, if you get time, you should do a compilation of the reversing 'skills'.

It’s swagger, okay? Now please stop looking at me disapprovingly. It burns!

Thank god she wasn't pulling a trailer. Might have put someones eyeball out.

Superb driving skills, almost equal to her manners and comprehension of road signs.

Good for T-Shirt design, "Back You Go" is another one

I hope and I bet she acts differently now she has been landed with the huge fine and the points added

Certain parts of London are full of pricks like her

@@benm5345 Sadly probably not. She probably still thinks she was doing something perfectly reasonable and one annoying person made an issue of it and the 'system' unfairly punished her when he caused the problem not her. People's capacity to justify to themselves whatever they want to do is scary.

But instead of being fine she had a fine

Stopping is for little people. Lol

I can answer that for you. Pedestrians are total nobodies to entitled car owners.

Welcome to the 21s century!

Well it is a business, except it's the government making the fortune

@@emrebaskocak Oh, the myth of the cash cow motorist is just a myth. These prosecutions cost far FAR more than the sum of fines+costs that they raise. The govt is making a massive net loss in prosecuting drivers like these.

@@CyclingMikey Oh really? I thought they would tack on all the costs to the person if found guilty, at least that's how it is where I am. So it's always a net profit when someone is found guilty.

@@CyclingMikey Any idea why they can't increase the penalties to at least cover the costs of prosecution? Surely any sensible person would object to the state losing money in circumstances where the case is so simple and the proof so indisputable. As a bonus, the higher fines might get us closer to the real goal: behaviour change.

@@weevilinabox The fines are adjusted to take account of income. If the costs where increased to the actual cost then down graded to take account of income they would just be another fine. There are many people who are prison for non payment of fines. The other probable with the courts being profitable would be that they would be run to make money. Everybody commits minor crimes so it would just be a tax.

Earnings of offender. no point in a fine that they can not pay.

@cookiemonster If the court decides you do not have the funds to pay it is unlikely that a bank will lend you the money so you can pay.

I think the fine should be far higher and she should be charged in court for assult with a deadly weapon.

@cookiemonster I'm not sure if it's means tested but if there is only a flat rate chances are it's going to have to be low enough to be reasonable for poorer people and thus probably not going to be a deterrent for wealthier people.

@@paxundpeace9970 not sure if there is such an offence in the UK - she could definitely be charged with assault, possession of an offensive weapon and road rage.

A knife is a tool for cooking, a cricket bat is a tool for sports, a riffle is a tool for hunting. The use any of these for killing someone should be charged as murdering. An automobile is a tool for transport but try to hurt someone with it an you would get a fine....????????

Melbourne has the most disgusting drivers I've ever encountered. Tail gating everywhere. Tooting at anything. Overtaking dangerously and accelerating away just to slam the brakes on at the traffic lights 50 yards down the road. Just total cretins who would get laughed at in the UK.

I'm 67 and have been driving since I was a teenager. I ALWAYS think about that. What do you gain by driving like an idiot vs what's the potential cost. So I always get where I'm going, never get any tickets, and always get to wake up the next day.

That girl literally threw the car on HIM. She is weaponizing her car.

But a Merc driver in another video got off with minimal sanctions - even though the cop who spoke to Mickey commented that he’d used his car as a ‘deadly weapon’. Maybe the Magistrate didn’t get to see the video?

That was NO lady.

Yes, it's not as though our emergency services are starved of resouces and short of personnel after years of tory cuts, they can just open another box of police officers any time they like.

In the UK the car is king - no word of a lie drivers have killed people and got away with less of a fine than this woman. It's a serious issue but I guess oil lobbying helps drivers get away with it.
