TBF I felt a bit sorry for this lady with her family in the car, and if anyone was likely to listen about using the phone, it would probably be her (Assuming I talked to her and didn’t report). Nevertheless, I have to treat her the same way I treat all the other phone drivers I get good evidence for. It raises the question of whether you should report nice people for these traffic offences. My opinion is that you should report all equally, regardless of how nice they are or are not.
You can report road crime online here in London: https://www.met.police.uk/ro/report/rti/rti-a/report-a-road-traffic-incident/
In the rest of the UK you can use the NextBase Portal to find your local force submission portal:

Yet more evidence that using a phone in that kind of traffic is not the no-risk activity some people claim it is. She had less of a clue what was going on around her than her passenger did. Hang up and drive.
Eagle eyes. Everyone enjoys getting the six points, I guess.
Being old is no excuse!
Nasty person
Mikey. Can you report the person playing that idiotic music too!
TBF I felt a bit sorry for this lady with her family in the car, and if anyone was likely to listen about using the phone, it would probably be her …………………………………No no Mikey, don't show a weakness for older ladys breaking the law, she breaking the law just like the shouty arrogant ones we love watching so much.
An a OAP myself I find my reaction time has slowed down compared to when I was much younger and the old lady on phone while driving is more likely to be involved in a accident.
These people are the worst for causing accidents.
As we get older, it's of greater importance to focus more and more on those seemingly mundane tasks, lest we forget what is happening.
Can anyone name that tune?
Even more responsibility with your family right in there with you regardless of age – no excuses and no sympathy tbh
Well done sir
Well done again
I was expecting a torrent of abuse from the driver! Supergran goes rogue.
do really think your making the world a better place
Kids these days on their damn phones all the time.
I love that the universal gesture for putting the phone down is the pinkie and the thumb spread outwards, and the hand lowered in a downward motion! When was the last time anyone had a phone that actually did that? LOL!
Cycling Mikey OBE for services to road safety. 😊
Red card "6 Points"
Oblivious of what's going on around her
🙄 won’t say nothing zipped me mouth shut 😂😂😂😂
What makes you think she's nice, just because she's old? For a start she's a law breaker. She may otherwise be nice, but she could be vile for all you know.
If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. Fukkem, a lawbreaker is a lawbreaker
Driving a vehicle of around 1.5 metric Tonnes while not in full control – No Thank You Grandma
It's habitual. Out for a run yesterday, 50+ lady playing with her fondle-slab. I shouted to put it down, she jumped and braked. It's pure cognitive dissonance.
If you are a grandmother, great grandmother, grandfather, great grandfather, father, mother, sister, brother, son, daughter, uncle or aunt etc who phone drives Cycling Mikey WILL get you. There is no hiding place from Cycling Mikey He is your worst nightmare. There is no way you will ever escape his justice.
You reporting a transgression, not determining if a person is good or bad.
You were riding on the pavement
'Not really' – does that mean Yes or No?
Coffin Dodgers Zombie Phone addicts.. Absolute disgrace..
Why feel sorry? Totally unaware of what is happening around her – look at the gap!!!! THAT is exactly the reason I spend so long waiting to get through lights when they change and nobody moves or I sit waiting at junctions because people are too busy dicking about with their phones.
Poor grandmother?
Old enough to know better.
Stop assuming what you think happened, if you don't know don't bother posting even the clip of the infraction, find out.
Traffic Menace. Its enough to pass the film on to the Police.
He loves the spotlight.
Sad little man.
There was a man who hack a lime bike because the bike was clicking
