There should be a national campaign to make people aware that being stationary make no difference. Too many offenders are convinced the law doesn't apply if they're not moving.
Jesus i bet you have loads of friends and your family are so proud of you!! and what about the offences you have committed whilst on your bicycle that have been recorded on your own videos and CCTV? guess now all your information is in the public domain any offences should be reported. However maybe lady Karma will come calling!!
👍
We can dream of a news item…. after pissing off one too many motorists cycling nikey found himself involuntarily used as a cycle rack with his bike firmly lodged where the sun dont shine!!
Yes, Mikey.
I got my replies from the Met after 8/9 days for two close pass offences after I reported them. Can take a while.
I would advise anyone reporting traffic offences and who have video evidence of the incident and number plate to report as soon as possible after the offence and certainly within 10 days, as the Met or your local police force only have 14 days to review and serve an NIP. Don’t let these drivers get away with it.
It’s not grassing, as you don’t owe them anything. They owe other road users a duty of care to drive with due care and attention.
ik ben ook niet zo dol op mijn medefietsers en hun weggedrag…
al moet ik toegeven dat ik zelf ook wel eens door rood fiets, maar dat doe ik alleen als er werkelijk geen hond op de weg is die er last van kan hebben, dus vooral 's nachts en ik snel thuis wil zijn. waar ik vooral een bloedhekel aan heb zijn de "slingerappen" en de idioten die bang zijn dat hun arm eraf valt als ze richting aangeven, die gasten krijgen altijd commentaar van me, "die foon kan gerust wel even zonder jou" of "richting aangeven is bij jou optioneel?". eergisteren nog sprak ik een vrouw aan op het richting aangeven en zowaar gaf ze bij de eerstvolgende afslag richting aan, maar dat was zo minimaal (alleen het handje was voor mij zichtbaar) dat ik daarover opmerkte dat een automobilist dat waarschijnlijk niet zou opmerken.
en dan zijn die idioten verbaasd als ze onder een auto terecht komen…
Cyclists have there own rules, not the same as everyone else, hope they get number plates on them, then we could have motorists v the cyclists contest, that would be fun wouldn’t it.
Being stationary is one thing but you’re not parked up; so it’s still an offence to use your phone whilst driving. SIMPLE!!! Well done Mikey 👍👍👍

It's about time cyclists were made identifiable, so they can be held accountable for their actions too.
So many people on bikes breaking the law.
Instead if ignoring red light jumping cyclists, Mike should just post their faces on the end of his videos. I am a cyclist and all cyclists should adhere to the same laws as drivers.
Stopped in traffic for total and utter fs😡.
That smirk dropped in sync with the window 😂👌
My favourite line for those claiming its ok since they are stationary: "I dont think even you can that stupid to think thats an excuse"
By default any response after that by them is either a claim they are stupid or that they did know.
Don't worry about justifying yourself for not calling out red light jumping cyclists. You can't do everything and what you focus on you do wonderfully. If people have a problem with it then they should challenge them.
In case the Audi Driver watching, this cyclist is Mike Van Erp lives in Biggin Hill
Thanks Michael Van Erp🤣
You sir are the not law… funny how you never go after cyclists that jump red lights or the scooter riders that went through the red lights…..
As always cyclists behaving incredibly dangerous and care free by pleasing themselves and riding through red lights and all over the road but ironically another bad cyclist gets great pleasure in filming and reporting an innocent motorist sat in traffic STATIONARY, not dangerous at all. …!
Sad looked a sweet lady, but the law is clear.
