My brain was playing tricks on me, btw. I see so many plates now that occasionally I start to think I’ve recognised them, but on a search, I don’t see this numberplate elsewhere in my spreadsheet. LOL! Maybe I’d seen the car with a driver on the phone but didn’t manage to video anything prosecutable? I have no idea.
She had a right old mutter about me catching her, so I should think she knew exactly what she had done wrong, and what I was likely to do with the video.

Can't go for the "I was stationary" excuse when rolling past on the blower. Perhaps her name is Katy and in a miraculous random alignment of the cosmos she was simultaneously reading out the last three letters of her number plate (YKT) and asking herself why she had been so foolish ("Why, Katy?"). 😃
You need to go back to Gandalfs corner I’m sure the would have gone back to their old ways by now 😂😂
@1:00 Three toyota priuses in a row
should be a warning sign on that stretch of road saying do you think you lucky punk
I hate to be a downer, but for all those who say "Ha! I use bluetooth hands-free!"… the Transport Research Laboratory and just about every other road safety report in the world have shown that ANY interaction with a phone makes your driving worse than that of a drink-driver. Check it out for yourself, and don't phone or receive calls at the same time as you're supposed to be driving.
0:40 lit up phone screen in the mini cooper, I think 🙂
Mikey it's that time of year,you need to dress as santa and tell the offending driver's although they have been naughty they will be receiving a little something in the post,the look on their faces would be priceless…🎅
The cost of insuring Range Rovers has gone through the roof recently, when she gets her renewal it will be a double whammy…………
I miss the gandalfs
I was hoping to hear she was just checking her Waitrose shopping list for little Tabitha and Eugene.
Lots of nutters in London i know that, but Mikey, what's a 'mutter'? Do you mean a mutterer? Or maybe a mumbler? Or how about ' a mardy mumbling mutterer, madly mumbling mutterings' for the title? 😅
Ironic to see that the sole contribution to cycling through the park there is a "no cycling" sign painted on the path -and the path so unmaintained that it's not wide enough for the text any more. Maybe they could just widen the path for everyone. That or someone could use some paint to change the text to "go cycling". I've thought about doing that in a park in Bristol where their annual report considers those messages their entire cycling budget
The hands free device still doesn’t let you scroll through the pages or text.
You forgot the red Mini, clearly visible on the phone when you past.
The Range Rover – the marque of the phone driver.
So, if you Have caught her before, I think she knows what’s coming; she may well have been muttering to herself in anger at herself.
I'm not saying that people should be using mobile phones while driving but moving in slow traffic I definitely think the law should be changed it's those people on the motorways that are using mobile phones when driving should be really hit hard I'm sorry to say around Birmingham you would be found and more likely have your legs broken like I say I don't agree with that but the people around that area will deal with it in that sort of manner especially if they have their license took from them and they have to pay fines that they can not afford
Happy Christmas cycling mickey ❤ thanks for your good work. 👍
Very nice see the don’t learn do they you and your family have a brilliant Christmas and thanks for sharing all your videos over the last past year 👍👍👍
Out in the works van, my oppo called this behaviour "sadwuppery". I had to ask. He told me it's Someone Attempting to Drive While Using a Phone. Well, the SAD part is certainly right, these people are sad, they're a menace, including when they're behind you on a fast road.
I think if you get caught using a mobile phone they should get a 1 month ban and a big fine
Caught twice, she didn't learn a lesson from the first time so i doubt she will change her ways in the future, ban or no ban
Thanks CM
😂She was not a happy lady. Well done Mikey.
OOOOOHHH that is 12 poinst now. She wil be driving with the bus. And she can be on her phone all day long. Just plain stupid if you ask me.
And some how i really hoping you'll catch her again with no drivers license and on her phone while driving her suv. such a big car is like a weapon in the hands of people like her.
0:12 Sorry
(Huh?)
TBH, i do this. I apolgize so much!! Even when in the wrong, I say sorry!
Not another Land Rover!. Why is it the drivers of these come with a sense of entitlement and arrogance?.
Mikey, I just looked up how much penalty points increase insurance… Fined for using a phone up to 6 points, insurance is increased 71%, But if it the phone fine pushes it over 7 points, it's increased by a whopping 174%
So it's astounding that woman can be ignorant enough to have done it twice!
No need to see the face, the voice says it all.
An army of volunteers on bicycles (and on motorcycles, in motor vehicles or on the street) all potentially filming you. Better than CCTV! It is not state surveillance, it is publicly owned and operated by everyone with a camera!
Sneaky lurking in parks to spot phone using motorist now 🤣
Good ploy. 👍
Excellent Mikey! They're selfish addicts endangering everyone. That's why we have laws, courts and punishment for criminals. Range Rovers….the potential buyers must promise to disobey all traffic laws. They're the same in the States. Incredible. I have yet to see an unselfish status car driver.
"You better watch out, you better not cry….."
Another good job Mikey. And Puck Futin.
The apology to the lady at the beginning… today I was walking a short footpath, one side was flooded. A young woman was coming towards me, on the wet side. I stepped off of the path onto the muddy grass – in my holy training shoes – to let her pass on the dry section. She made a strange sound, one of joy and disbelief, I think, or like to think. Chivalry isn’t dead, yet. Well done Mikey, you’re one in a million.
fines and penaltys far too low,when are the courts really gonna punish these rsoles
My phone stays in my pocket when im a pedestrian.
And if i do need to check it i stop walking and find a place to stand out of peoples way
Another criminal prosecuted booooooom
Just a question for me please, so for us who have full electric car when we are stopped in traffic and go in park mode can we go on phones as there is no engine ? It can't move also when in that mode ?
You say you look for behavious and not people but would it not be more efficient just to look for Range Rovers?
You’ve got to accept responsibility for your actions. Phone driving is illegal and the punishment is right. Well done Mikey 👍👍👍
Hey, I was watching some of the King's Guards videos and I saw you. You were with a handicapped child. The Guard was really nice.
