Neither I nor the unmarked police car had any effect on his mobile phone usage.

He completely ignored you, he knew what he was doing and didn't care.
Mickey would you ever go on piers mogan’s show
I think the reason van drivers do it so often is because they have their mobile numbers as main source of contact on their adverts for small businesses, and whenever they do get a call, they want to immediately take it rather than have it divert or stop driving to to answer it.
While I totally agree phone use while driving is against the law, I think using it whilst stationary with foot on the brake or hand brake on isn’t really a dangerous move, but yes driving whilst using it is very dangerous.
Still fighting the good fight, Mikey. Keep it up, there's only a few more million drivers out there that could potentially be using their phones while driving. 😉😂….🤔….😔
That was an unusual interaction. When the post comes through. Then he will realise what’s happened
The ignorance of some people nowadays is beyond contempt. He deserves the points 😅
Mikey, the van wasn't even moving. Try catching those driving and using their mobiles at 20, 30 40 mph and higher instead. They are much more dangerous. And don't go riding on footpaths.
White van man in white city, thats a horrible junction that
Telling people what they should do while riding on the pavement
"If I can't see you, it means you don't exist and I haven't been caught".
Pathetic. Deserves to receive his punishment, thinking if he ignores you, nothing will happen!!! 🙄
Looks more like a vape to me. You’d be hard pushed to prove that was a phone from that footage
keep up the great work Mikey. I reported 27 drivers last month for parking/blocking cycle lanes in my area.
Watching from Ecuador
I don’t understand why professional drivers especially don’t invest 20 quid in a phone mount and go hands free. It’s still not ideal, but you’re a bit more covered legally, provided you don’t cause an accident while on the phone.
Ignoring because he knew he was wrong but didn't have the balls to take responsibility
Well done
what bike are you riding
Insufficient evidence of use. He knew to turn the screen away from view.
Those white vans are like big fat tuna fish for the Mikey cruising shark.
Something has gone wrong with our society over the years…no respect at all from people like this…such entitlement…nice catch as always.
Is the technology of handfree telephoning not available in England?
Then you have no proof they have been taken to court and found guilty of anything have you ?
He probably didn’t even reply to the s.172 notice and got the 6 points plus fine automatically?
I had second hand anxiety wondering how you were going to get across that road
People hear saying he's guilty because he ignored some stranger banging on his window – bunch of idiots. Some stranger deliberately bang on my window while driving will be on the floor with their bike in my boot then later destroyed. This driver done what the Police say & that is to ignore fools trying to incite roadrage by touching their property, phone use or not
if i don't acknowledgethis wierdo on the bike he might not report me, that was going through his head 😂
