Caught by a Speed Camera. PTWs (powered two wheelers) are the most dangerous form of transport on our public highways. It behoves riders to take the utmost care. I’m also not surprised when you see riding like this. Even the red motorcyclist, the apparent friend of the white Honda, wasn’t riding very well and nearly went into the back of the indicating Mercedes.

Darwinism at its finest.
There is no teacher like the Tarmac. Double over shoulder is best practice.
That rider must have a hard time trying to ride that scooter with the amount of snaking he was doing 😂
It’s a free for all on all roads now. On my way to work this morning a car jumped a red light right outside a school at speed. Light had been red for 3 seconds. Visibility was non existent. 8.30 in the morning outside mereway school in Northampton. Next to a police station too. Then I get cut up because I’m driving at 40 in a 40. Good job the Tories took all the police off the streets and replaced them with GCSE failures who can’t put one foot in front of the other or people would be getting in trouble. The only copper in London is Cycling Mikey. The others don’t know the law, just wear the gang uniform and bully people with cameras. Bloody country sucks!
LF64GNO – Grey Yamaha – No Tax & No MOT, both expired TWO YEARS AGO.
KM22WYW – White Honda – No Tax as of May, Not due it's 1st MOT yet.
No tax no MOT explains his attitude, does not give a dam.
Total Muppet.
Dangerous riding. No road sense what so ever. 🤔
Why does your shadow look like buzz lightyear in the beginning
shit over taking by those twor rders – it was obvs that M was going to have to pass the double parked car
even if there was insurance it wouldn't count
Hate to say this but those guys on motorbikes were good compared to where i come from
The scooter is also untaxed and uninsured. We import people who drive like they are still in the third world. Zero enforcement leads to this.
That guy weaving like that must be one chop short of a barbecue. I can’t imagine what he thought he was doing. But no pedestrian or cyclist is safe with him on the road.
Well done Mikey!
I say this as a former cyclist /motorcyclist /car driver
Has that thing got a loose back wheel or something? Whether deliberate knobbing around or mechanical, you're right Mikey, he's going under a vehicle at some point. I visited a friend in hospital who went under a bus – it sounds like a very special form of yoga how he ended up. Don't put yourself under the wheels of anything.
There's a certain madness to riding in London and I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore, but some of those idiots were idiots. I can't believe what cyclists have to endure on that stretch of road. Stay safe, man.
When I was a motorcycle courier in London in the early nineties, my nemesis was always scooter riders, total bunch of idiots and morons, and especially the wannabe taxi drivers on mopeds, wandering about with their noses in their clipboards trying to memorise "the knowledge" instead of eyes on the road, much worse than any mobile phone driver. (which had yet to appear an the scene).
What does KSI'd mean here please?
Compulsive basic training courses need to be improved
These moped riders are everywhere in London. Nearly all of them are riding on L plates, and I suspect very few of them have done a CBT course. They have zero roadcraft skills, and almost no situational awareness. They're an absolute menace, and you have to be so careful around them as (as already mentioned) they're quite likely to be untaxed or uninsured.
This is what allowing people to use 'L' plates whilst working causes!…… Being a learner on the road means learning to use the road correctly!
This video is enough to persuade me to never ride or drive any vehicle in London again!
What a blessing to be old enough to get a travel pass 🙏🏻
Stay safe Mikey, and all you others 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Certain members of the emergency services have a 2 word term for peeps like this:-

Big concern about the scooter riders, especially the one who appeared overloaded!!! Let’s hope they all pay attention in future 👍👍👍
A slippery manhole cover will sort out that front wheel weaving real quick.
Auditioning for Max Max: Deliveroo
Not a fan of deliveroo riders in e-bikes either. Suspect during England Euro matches they’ll be the only ones of them road trying to get burgers to couch potatoes at “race speed”
All these bad motorists and now motorcyclists, too! Thank goodness cyclists are law abiding , highway code respecting road users, as they might end up getting hurt or even hurting others through their own actions were they to do things such as riding on pavements or going through red lights or even cycling across pedestrian crossings with people still crossing. Phew!
Only plonker I see is you !! You ever actually stay in the cycle lanes ?? Or do you just stay in middle of lane to make folk pass you for a bit of drama on your camera 🤷♂️🤷♂️ saddo
The one guy riding with his feet tangling on the side. Huge mistake 💥
This looks like a scene from Bangkok 😂
Scooters and mopeds are not motorcycles. They are barely a step above your bicycle. It only makes them less controllable than your bike.
Just come back as a Terminator, sorted 😂
Scooters are for girls and Pizza Deliveries aren't they.. ??
When I took my motorcycle endorsement, the examiner explained that there are 2 kinds of riders: one group rides into their 70's and never has a problem, the other group doesn't last 6 months on a motorcycle, he said that he hoped that I would be in the first group. As a side note, someone from my high school lost his leg shooting the gap like that. Good effort, Mikey, you have provided a perfect example of what careless riding looks like.
Organ donor!
He looks like he knows what he’s doing tbf
Riding a motorbike on busy roads is risky enough already, so prat-arsing about like that is idiotic.
Some people are just maniacs. This morning I was cycling round Outer Circle @ Regents Park. I cycled past a car that was driving down the road (<20mph before anyone says anything!), driver had no hands on the steering wheel and wasn't looking where they were going, instead using a nail file to sort out their cuticles. While "driving" down the road at about 15mph. Just unbelievable. Even the "bUt I wAs sTatIoNaRY" brigade can suggest they didn't know it was an issue or that it was somehow related to driving but surely anyone in their right mind knows that making a vehicle drive down the road when you have no control over the direction it is going in and you're not looking at the road ahead in order to do a DIY manicure is a bad idea ™. Oh well, nice footage so that's going off to MPS in about 5 minutes once the PC has finished editing it. Perhaps rather than points they should be forced to drive with a massive sign saying "THINK!" on the steering wheel. Or perhaps tattooed on their forehead in reverse so they see it when doing their makeup at 20mph in their sunshade mirror (which I've also seen someone doing- again no hands on steering wheel, view of the road totally obscured by the sunshade). Rather annoyingly those ones tend not to go to court- I'd love to see someone trying to persuade a trio of Magistrates that they were driving with due care and attention!!!!
Cycling through Shepherds Bush feels like the Wild West. Pedestrians everywhere, not paying attention, motor bikes and illegal electric bikes all over the place and drivers either on their phones or making crazy, dangerous manoeuvres. Ride safe Mikey!
Pre-invasion, driving standards were much higher
The amount of theese delivery riders looking at phone while riding is unbelievable should be a law against it
The Honda rider is probably working towards a Darwin award
He was death wabbling all over the place . “Twenty minuter” defo
