I reckon she thought she was allowed to use her phone whilst stopped in the queue, but she was mistaken.

I second that ! Well done e Mikey….are having Christmas Day off “duty”. ?
Last year Mikey caught Santa texting his wife while operating his vehicle.the text was Hello coming home Hows the weather? Is it snowing or is it Reindeer…????????
At least she was civil, not like some of the idiots you have to deal with.
Something has gone seriously wrong with the publicity surrounding this law if so many people still think it's OK when they're in traffic. I know that some obviously know it's wrong, but I get the impression that many genuinely – however wrongly – believe they can do this in traffic. That reflects badly on whatever department is responsible for public information on these changes to the law. It seems the only way to educate them is by catching them in the act.
You reported it.
Mikey makes the roads a bit more safe 😁
Great catch, Mikey.
You're far too generous. There's no mistake here, she knows full well she shouldn't be using it. Her "I'm not moving" is just an attempt to downplay it.
Mikey 😂 you have balls of steel.
Turns a blind eye to cyclist tho
Too bad, she seemed like a nice lady, but even nice ladies, no-matter how nice they are have to respect the rules while in traffic.
Bless you mikey …keep it up …wishing you a brilliant Christmas 🎄 👏👏👏🎄
''My name is Jeff''
''Okay''
Keep up the good work, shame so many don’t know the rules let alone follow them
No excuses – insta-bans needed NOW
The endless fascination with phones. These damn devices are responsible for so much harm yet the obsession continues. Bizarre that these people could be reading a book or studying a map with no consequences, but no, the mobile phone is what occupies most people’s conscience.
I hope she was OK with the fine and the penalty points.😂
I can't tell if it's an "Okay fair enough, you caught me I'll take what's coming to me" or an "Okay whatever, I don't care " – her tone just doesn't give it away, nor does her demeanor.
She'd be good at Poker.
I wonder how long it'll be before Mike catches somebody watching one of his own videos. 😂
Just because a phone is in a cradle doesn't make itbright to be scrolling through Facebook. Your only allowed to do basic things like adjust sat nav or change music.
Also illigal to have cradle mounted on the windscreen blocking part of your view.
I wonder if she will okay when the next insurance premium drops, or something beginning with F…..
She’s in traffic! How many people have had an accident when stopped in traffic on there phone?
I know its the law but come on
Reminds me of the road warrior scene where the mechanic is told they have less than half the time they wanted to complete the job and the answer was just as cheery, "okay." Thank you, Mikey
Nice one. She was nice about it. I really think when they ban drivers for a year they could change their behavior. A fine is not so much fun but after a couple of days you don't think about it anymore. But when you can not drive your car, bike or anything else on the streets for a year you might become aware to not to drive on your phone.
Mabe more people should reccord phone drivers. And catch them every single time. That would really hurt them and make them start thinking about safety.
What is it with people with their phones, they just don't care, it's about time the government increased it to 9 points and a minimum fine of £1000, if you don't pay it your car is taken as payment or collateral – irrespective of how rich you are, if you have 12 points you are banned for 1 year
Well done Mikey
I bet the drivers that are twice over the legal drink limit this time of year are laughing and watching you, knowing you can't do anything to them. Shame really.
Idiots deserve all they get…The rest of us understand the rules regarding phone use. The onus is on the driver to know the rules and if they don’t then don’t then they shouldn’t get back behind the wheel until a wee refresher course has been completed 👍🏻
I miss the “Go back” videos.
Your doing some great work here
Good to see you being an equal opportunities enforcer. The vehicle is still a danger whether a man, woman or self identification as a squirrel is behind the wheel.
Not boredom . Addiction
It’s so obvious that the female driver was more interested in her phone, than concentrating on driving!!! Well done Mikey 👍👍👍
Well done Mikey!
I wonder if any of these criminals have been hit by a fellow phone addict. Did it change their driving/phone behavior?
