That's Uxbridge road, it's a very long road. You see nothing but motor vehicles parked like that as far along 'til Southhall. The biggest problem is that nobody enforces it. The police leave it to the local councils to do that. They of course don't do enough. If anything. Ealing is even worse than what you see there.

Foreign dnt care

@@Mel87y he's a VAN driver innit !

@@Mel87ysadly, that does seem true looking at Mikey’s vids of who he catches most

@sabni8668 oh I don't know. BERKS IN MERKS are bloody awful as well you know !

I think by now it's deliberate ignorance.

"I can sort of understand a stationary vehicle with traffic like the videos in the park..." - They aren't stationary though, the queue keeps moving, but they don't hang up, they keep talking/scrolling/typing on. Those morons do cause many road collisions which is also part of the reason motoring insurance premiums cost as much as they do, which do affect me and you if you drive.

Stationary phone drivers are still dangerous for many reasons: 1) The people using their phones when stationary are very often the same people using them when moving. They only put the phone down because I caught them. 2) They are entirely unaware of people crossing the road around them. See here where a phone driver almost hits someone in the queue twitter.com/phonekills/status/1491526464520560641?s=20 See this other tweet where a 5 year old child is almost hit by a phone driver who was stationary: x.com/cmdkenyon/status/1724483042046067052?s=20 And another: x.com/WelshBrendan2/status/1796099766557774129 3) They are entirely unaware of filtering cyclists and motorcyclists, despite the Highway Code requiring us to be aware of this. 4) Phone distraction lasts for a good time after you put the phone away. Even if you're only using the phone in each traffic queue at each junction (which is highly unlikely), then you're constantly topping up your mental distraction and are basically as disabled as a drunk driver. 5) Phone driving is worse than drink driving for distraction rates, and that's why it's part of the #Fatal4 behaviours that police target heavily. 6) Here's a police officer telling you that he has been on the scene for 3 fatal RTCs involving drivers who were stationary whilst using their phones, and then moved off and caused a collision: twitter.com/markandcharlie/status/1604073330751197184?s=20&t=uj8sgu7spu4cTyDqqqds2g 7) Policing phone drivers will help them stop other traffic offences too - it's vanishingly rare that someone only breaks a single traffic law like mobile phone use. 8) Parliament recently chose to strengthen the mobile phone law around stationary phone use because it's dangerous and the science supports this. I'm really not interested in this nonsense of "it's not dangerous when stationary, because it clearly is and it's clearly still very appropriate to catch these drivers.

@@CyclingMikey Point taken Mickey, the phone is a curse.

BANS NEEDED

@@bhoops13 - That does seems like the way to go, but the 'Punishment' then becomes massively disproportionate to other R.T. Offences committed, which also command high-points penalties ! This 'Epidemic' is serious

The answer is a ban for a year and a fine that is means tested £1000- £5000. Simply advertise the new rules everywhere no excuse this causes deaths.

@@APW-ry2ok - Yes, that is probably the best way to try to kerb this madness A massive advertising campaign too - TV, Radio, Mags, email, pop-ups, bill-boards, sides of buses & leaflet drops . . . . . Then there are NO excuses, and if people still want to chance it - *GOOD LUCK* to them, but don't cry when nabbed

Welcome to London

They need kerb separation. Same here in NI

Yeah, the cars were "protecting" them. London drivers are altruistic like that.

@@sabni8668the poles let you swing in and out when needed-and mostly stop vehicles parking "just for a minute" in them. But the entrances to the lanes need to be at junctions, not on some bit of road where it's easy to block. I think they will probably have a shorter life too: it's easy to crush them with van or an HGV, and after enough repeated destruction, councils give up. And as it only takes an afternoon to remove, that can happen without warning

Uxbridge road. It's like that all the way from Shepard's Bush to Southhall. You spend more time in the road even though there's plenty of cycle lanes. They're continuously blocked. and nobody enforces.

At least he was talking and not texting. I was cruising down a 3-lane road. To my left, the guy was texting. To my right, the woman was reading a book. When the texting guy passed, the one behind him was also texting. And the next one was eating food out of a bowl.

On a serious note 'chases' like this demonstrate who fast motor vehicles in cities aren't.

@@ianvogler2612 That's because he doesn't care if him or other cyclists do wrong and break laws because he knows police can't pursue a prosecution as they're not traceable. With the new highway code rules of cyclists being more at risk he seems like the sort that if a cyclist jumped a light and got knocked off then he'd blame the vehicles driver for not seeing the bike.

He was probably less than 10 yards/1 second from the stop line so it was probably safer to continue than perform an emergency stop with the risk of being rear-ended.

At 15mph (26kph)? I guess if you take the 400% video fast forward speed I must have been doing 60mph.

'definitely spending' I've heard he never buys a round!🤣🤣

​@@CyclingMikey Bad typo lol speeding ** 😂

@@ColinStrong-j9n That's because he knows the police can't pursue a prosecution because bikes can't be traced as unlike vehicles they have no regristration and no insurance etc ...

Grass/snitch/snake are words used by only by children and criminals. Which one are you? The idea that anyone anywhere could video you any time takes all the fun out of anti-social driving. The sense of paranoia really eats away at you. 3rd party video reporting has exploded across the UK. In London in 2022 almost 15,000 such prosecutions were started. There are tens of thousands of people videoing and reporting bad driving.

@@CyclingMikey until you pay insurance and tax you have no say,Nearly got taken out today by someone riding a bike the wrong way down a one way street while on a mobile phone one handed got it on dash cam but you are perfect,but I won’t show it to police 👮‍♀️ because am not a grass and nothing would happen anyway no 3 points no fine could have caused a serious accident but that’s ok he’s just a cyclist

* There is no road tax - it was abolished in the 1930s to stop entitled drivers from claiming that they own the public highway. You mean VED, a pollution tax. It's obvious why cyclists and pedestrians don't pay that tax. * As a driver you're a freeloader - the sum of motoring taxes in the UK is far less than the sum cost of motoring to society. All drivers are heavily subsidised by non-driving taxpayers. * You drive only via revocable licence; your driving is a privilege and not a right. Cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders/carriages all use the public highway by right and were there before cars were. Know your place. * You're required by law as a driver to have MOT, VED, insurance, and a licence; cyclists, pedestrians, and horse riders/carriages are not required to have these. None of these payments change the fact that your driving is a privilege and not a right. * Drivers are more lawbreaking than cyclists. www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2019/05/10/cyclists-break-far-fewer-road-rules-than-motorists-finds-new-video-study/ * I have a playlist of drivers disqualified by the courts as a result of cyclist videos here: kzfaq.info/sun/PL50HnB_iNgL4VLK1XXwdYkX2kn3Bbjh7B

He just comes across this by chance on his way to work (or Court for other offenders). How about you just get your hand off it?

Lol says the one who's stalking Mikey and commenting on his channel instead of working

@bestbehave what are you smoking buddy? My friend was scrolling KZfaq and I saw this self proclaimed vigilante. Wondering were are vids of his fellow cyclist riding their bikes recklessly without helmets or hi-viz. My work includes spending time on the roads, so perhaps you should get of Mickeys D, before talking crap

Looks to me like he was just filming his commute.

@SteveLoughran yeah right pointing camera on the guy talking shit like proper Karen he is
