The most telling aspects of his behaviour were the ease with which he agreed with the facts that he’d committed the offence, but seemed to believe that the act of catching him was somehow worse, and when at 19:55 he described himself as “a grown man” (debatable) then started crying and ran like a toddler to the police!

My favourite part is 20:00 - "you've upset me, I'm a grown man..." and then he cries like a child because he was caught doing something he admits is dangerous and wrong but YOU upset him because you caught him and you're a grass, which to him is worse than putting people's lives in danger. What a pathetic man child he is. I am disappointed you didn't get to report him.

[@hegedusuk]

He’s not crying like a child, it’s stress. Whether or not he did something wrong (and he did), he is rightfully under emotional stress. I think the issue here is not that he’s realised he’s been caught being dangerous and breaking the law, but that he hasn’t been caught by a policeman. He hopefully recognises police as authority figures, and if he was caught by a policeman, he’d probably be pissed off but contrite. However he was caught by CyclingMikey, someone who he recognises as his equal, and not an authority figure. That’s what’s so upsetting for him. The police aren’t bound by a whim to charge someone for dangerous driving, but CyclingMikey is. I applaud most of what he does, especially at that junction at Regent’s Park, as that’s blatantly dangerous, but there’s something niggling at me about his trying to catch phone-drivers.

[@martinwhite7876]

I know you are not supposed to hold your phone whilst driving. But considering he was doing half a mile an hour I wouldn't consider this dangerous

[@CyclingMikey]

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.
