Understand completely why you not in front of him. Saw a cyclist being harrassed by an open bed truck years ago really scary. several cars following the truck started blowing horns when the driver got out of his cab.
The behaviour is being corrected, one bad driver at a time.
Some policeman must be having a very easy job
The wanker in the first few seconds with no rear lights. Doh.
I've missed the Jaws music.
Laws are for little people. Blatant is barely adequate to describe that.
Met: Oh, not that CM again. We really cant be bothered to prosecute. 😂
I think this is the most nonchalant one I've seen so far.
I bet he cared more when he got the letter (assuming he did get one, that is).
Another W⚓️ on his phone. Absolute muppets 😔
Thank you
Thank you CM
Couldn’t care less 🤷🏻♂️
Thankfully he just took it and didn’t chase after you with nefarious intentions
Looks like a recent arrival who hasn't been accustomed to the UK laws yet.
Using a phone in stopped traffic is not dangerous. Phone usage is only dangerous when in motion.
Bet he's not smiling now.
So your cruising route seems to be Holland Park through Hyde Park and then down towards Knightsbridge. Mobile users beware!
Its even worse looking at your phone at night time, because it temporary blinds you when you look away from the bright screen and takes a second or two for your eyes to adjust to the difference.
Personally, I would call it the Shepherds Bush roundabout, despite the Hilton pretending it is in Kensington. Shepherds Bush it is.
With car insurance premiums rising at an alarming rate, will be interesting to see what his renewal will be
How many distracted drivers did you catch in January 2023, Mikey?!
Odd driving behaviour there. He starts to swerve into the 2nd lane when moving off after being caught, but cancels. He then stays as far left as possible, knowing he has a right turn coming up. He definitely isn't focused on driving.
what does request for unavailable dates mean?
Mount a self levelling phone holder in/on the airbag cover in the steering wheel. Food for thought? Legal? I hope not. Tempting for phone addicts?
I used to like traffic lights 🚦 when I was a little boy I left Je watching cars and transports all the time
Good work as always Mikey, still baffling how many people there are doing this that don’t know how potentially dangerous it could be !
in zijn geval staat BMW voor "blij met weinig" (hersencellen)…
vooral omdat hij je heel "trots" zijn smartphone laat zien, hetgeen niet zo "smart" is.
🤪
Always the most expensive car which has an inbuilt voice activated phone system 🤷♂️
Another BMW! Smug and entitled!
Lit up like a Christmas tree. Cock
That wiped the smirk off his face.
I'm sure the judge will enjoy that smug look he gave showing his lit up phone.
What a Muttonhead
What camera do you use? It’s really good quality
