Thank you CM👏
Small fine, expensive car………. right result though and the insurance hike will make up for the lack of fine.
Of those successfully prosecuted, I wonder how many have learnt their lesson. An unsatisfactory percentage, I suspect. Still, it's got to be worth the effort because of those who do change their behaviour.
Good work. I like how the Jaws music started while you were stationary.
Every time the music starts, I can't help but smirk because I picture a shark fin being visible over the cars, moving along purposefully – only for it to be revealed that it's Mikey with one atop his helmet, as he stops and politely asks a driver to put their phone away.
1:35 – As someone from Sweden – aka not from England, i would assume that parking on a bike-lane or a yellow like is not allowed. Is this correct? Cause now when all of them have parked on the left side, all cars have to drive on the middle of the road to surpass them :/
Well done Mikey keep up the good work.
Back in the days of the Met safer neighborhood teams we were issued lovely Smith and Wesson mountain bikes with all the Gucci cycling gear. It was so easy to issue mobile phone f.p.n. plus other crimes, and a visible polic presence. Now we have to get civilians to do the job. 😢
She knew it was wrong – the guilty phone-drop is always a giveaway…
Using the phone
Just driving along
K.S. I.
Oh!
(And she knew it was wrong)
Shes on the phone and you are ridding of the wrong side of the road 0:18 The hypocrisy from this guy.
I notice that you’re allowed to park both with and against traffic. Is that so in the UK because in Sweden it’s a parking offence to park against traffic

I wonder what her insurance is now?, probably doesn't care, they know it's wrong but still do it. If you've been caught with a mobile offence, next time you are caught it's 9 points and it's increased by each each time. The look on her face was priceless, good job mikey
Your around Croydon sides now??
Was the penalty for the phone offence, the close pass, or both?
She knew she it was wrong to be using the phone judging the way she dropped it.
One a day is good.
BMW with illegal plate parked in school zigzags.
Another Audi!
Guilty!
Once you get used to the process et al, it can be quite quick. I’d guess longer on the video than the form, total 25mins per report?
Those parking bays are a bit narrow arent they? And why spoil it with picture of bicycle!!!
Brilliant work
Car REG NO: LD, either I or 1 8 DUB – dark coloured car the first one you past by, was that driver on her phone, or, was it the passenger, was very hard to make out, can't work out if the the drivers left hand is on the gear-stick or on using the phone. That white car was a DEFINITELY in use of a mobile phone. Yeah, that's the look of "CATURED" right there. Nice one Mikey.
Booooom another criminal prosecuted.
Thank you. Not for the faint of heart, out there. Busy.
What are you doing in S London, Mikey? My neck of the woods, Lower Addiscombe rd going into Croydon.
1:25 is it just me or does that look like the same bit of road like on the Hazard perception demonstration clip? Looks very similar
"It's always an Audi"… I've heard that somewhere.
