I love the positive interactions with people who condemn bad driving. That's the sort of people I want in society, and our roads would be a much more pleasant place to be with more of them. Our society is so fast paced, causing people to drive dangerously, so it's great when people are happy to take time to chat.

It's not really odd Adalind, but as with anybody else in society there are decent and not so decent people in any working section of London. The first taxi driver on this video was just a silly stupid boring pr*ck, and just to make it clear I am a licensed London taxi driver and of over 47 years experience. It's not just an avatar name on the left, anyway take care CyclingMikey.

Interesting seeing this channel actually being reminded that there are police that can actually walk amongst us. Priti Patel who is Home Secretary and our ultimate chief of police has no police stations in her constituency that I know of. Tiptree and Witham have lost them; she probably has to go outside of her constituency or dial 999 to speak to a policemen. Probably get in to trouble now even dialing 999 as anything like burglary not involving immediate life or death is considered far too trivial. The infrastructure underpinning the UK is rotting away from neglect as evident from the pot holes littering the roads and there is no end in sight.

He's going to court this month for failing to comply to who's driving at the time of the incidence. Already landed him 6 points and £660 fine. If he doesn't turn up to the court hearing I'm sure he'll be looked for by the police

Reminds me of a pedestrian passing that was notorious for cyclists running the red light to just pass right in front of the pedestrians in Cologne. And on this one day I crossed there with my wife and as a veteran biker of Cologne I immediately saw what would be coming. So the light turned red for the cyclists and cars and green for us, we began our crossing (4 lanes) with an island in the middle. The biker on the bike path on the opposite side came closer just crossing the line with the red light that is in place for good reason. He had one hand on the handle and the other held the enormous amount of stuff on his back carrier in place. To be fair he would just have made it. And I knew,that when you JUST make something - how easy could things go wrong? A gentleman for instance who is pretending to... I mean really is explaining something with great effort to his wife while crossing the street and is so dedicated he even makes some slightly quicker steps in the end. A cyclist riding with only one hand would certainly not be able to evade or stop in time I guess. Well, my foot somehow ended up in the space between his wheels and as he went over it, that bump launched him buttocks into the air and with him everything he hadn't properly secured to his bike. It was perfect. He suffered some pain, lost his breakable goods but nothing serious and it was impossible to blame me for anything. Hopefully he learned something. Just think how easy kids can just start running across the road. And there is nothing bad about it. I mean it is green everyone os crossing and they already are half way across with their parents. Who would think of being overrun by a bike after reaching the "safe" other side?

But the icing on the cake is he's still waiting to get back in line when a motorbike cuts round and gets in front of him at the end of the video 🤣🤣🤣

The other thing I notice even with the drivers that are on the correct side is that very few leave a gap in stationary traffic for pedestrians to cross via that centre island, including many that you are having a friendly interaction with...whilst they happily block that section.There is a dropped curb there too for anyone in a wheelchair or motorized scooter etc none of whom would be able to cross during the frequent periods of stationary traffic. Just goes to show how few drivers think of pedestrians.

Who is sad? You're sad. You're crying salty tears because bad driving is being caught and punished. You're salty because you identify with criminal drivers. On the other hand, I'm fairly happy most of the time. Most of all I'm happy that your reaction shows how much traction this idea of good citizens videoing and reporting road crime has gotten in your head. Tens of thousands of cyclists run video cameras and will report bad driving around them. From now on you'll remember this conversation every time you see cyclists on the road, and you'll think about some of us filming you. Some of our cameras are very easy to see, like GoPros, and some are nearly impossible to spot. Have fun looking for cyclists' cameras on the road. I'm not even in the top ten most prolific reporters in London. I suggest you drive properly around us all. Feel paranoid. Google your own number plates. Regularly.

Amazing mate, if a deaf person was crossing the road at the same time and like one of your videos the car was an electric one, and they looked in their eyes, the correct way when crossing, then BANG they're knocked over and possibly injured! All because some pr*ck decides to break the law and drive on the wrong side of the road. Keep it going mate you're doing a good job.
