Great video. I see some ridiculous drivers where I am. It is good that you are doing something about preventing potential injuries by getting drivers to perhaps think again before extending their existence as a slave to a phone. However, I wonder what's more distracting though; looking at a phone screen or being distracted by someone who is not even in the vehicle, starting/extending trivial conversations (unrelated to phone use) that cause the drivers to turn their heads perpendicular to the direction of travel.

[@bigted1347]

The BMW driver looked utterly astonished that you would say she can't use her phone at the wheel . How can so many people be driving or holders of a driver's licence yet not know the law . Surely a campaign of education or a more stringent drivers exam would save this country millions in costs of visiting accident scenes by Police / Fire service/ Paramedics and roads that are shut for hours not to mention ongoing NHS costs / court costs / policing costs.

[@CyclingMikey]

Stationary phone drivers are still dangerous for many reasons: 1) The people using their phones when stationary are often the same people using them when moving. Being caught whilst stationary is a co-incidence, not a defence. It's easier for me to catch them when stopped, but so many were also seen using their phones when moving. 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 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. 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.

Drivers would soon change their ways if the general consensus was that phone abuse was a shameful thing, like drink-driving.

Have they never heard of Cycling Mikey in London lol, I’ve no sympathy for any of them..

[@ingeposch8091]

twee keer betrapt binnen 5 minuten... de arrogantie druipt er vanaf! blij toe dat ze voorlopig niet meer achter het stuur van een motorvoertuig mag zitten. 😊

@CyclingMikey. Why don't you stop the real important crimes . The child abuse in this so called civilised country is horrific and yet you spend your time getting evidence on people in traffic queues using their phones and harming no one. The real law states that you should cause no harm. Of course using a phone when actually driving is wrong because it might cause harm. Using a phone when stationary is harmless..

[@TamMcNeave]

johntimbrell. Oh dear! Regarding your last sentence. Educate yourself at "IAM Roadsmart" before saying something as daft as that.

[@CyclingMikey]

Stationary phone drivers are still dangerous for many reasons: 1) Should a child or shorter person cross in front of them they wouldn't even see them, and would likely then move off, running them over. Here's an example someone else caught where the driver almost takes out a pedestrian at a crossing: twitter.com/phonekills/status/1491526464520560641?s=20 2) They are entirely unaware of filtering cyclists and motorcyclists. These drivers are often slow to react when the queue starts moving, and then when someone behind them beeps they drop the phone and hastily move off without even looking. 3) If you imagine these people only use their phones when queuing at the traffic lights, that's terribly naïve. The gardener in LM63BTZ was on the phone whilst driving along, and quite likely had been doing it for some considerable part of his journey. These phone users are constantly using their phones, but it's just much easier to catch them when they're in the queue. 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) People who knowingly break minor driving law will likely also break more serious laws. Strong policing of minor traffic offences has a strong effect on reducing collisions resulting in killed and seriously injured people. It's good to police these phone drivers. 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.

@@TamMcNeave What do you mean by "Roadsmart".

[@johntimbrell]

@@CyclingMikey Well Mickey, I spend my time fighting real important issues. I use my knowledge of the law to release people who have been unlawfully imprisoned. I'll bet you don't know what a legal fiction is. Why don't you get a life?

[@CyclingMikey]

Mikey, not Mickey thanks. That's an issue that's important for sure, but so are the 1,800 deaths and 27,000 serious injuries and maimings caused by road violence. Just behave behind the wheel, and you won't risk prosecution, possible loss of licence and/or job.

[@alastairward2774]

Did that "you need a license" guy go through a red light? Edit, no, he stopped.

[@CyclingMikey]

Oh is that what he said? I just couldn't make it out. Maybe he thought I need a licence to film, or to drive? I've got a driving licence anyway, and nobody needs a licence to film.

Interesting video Mikey. Another law breaker disqualified and it servers them right.

People who don't want to be run over by a distracted degenerate, texting away whilst driving a 1600kg metal box on wheels... That's what qualifies him.

@@TenFalconsMusic Um, he walked up to the drivers, while they were sitting still in traffic. Idiot.

You do know, Richard, that any citizen (yourself included) can report illegal behaviour of others?

Excellent work yet again Mikey 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Expensive life choice for some😮😮😮

[@teddyj11]

I'm a big fan of your videos Mikey. But I do have to question interacting with drivers like the cab driver in this clip. I know obviously talking to drivers is not illegal (although studies of in car phone calls etc show significant distraction), and phone use is. But simply from an appearance/moral point of view, I think perhaps you should keep distracting traffic to a minimum, i.e. reminding idiots that phone use in an unparked car is a crime.
