I've been a fan for quite a while now, and I'm so flattered and honoured to be on your channel. You're an awesome guy and I enjoyed spending the morning with you greatly. I'm so impressed at your video editing talent too.
Thank you for everything you do, Mikey. You're awesome.
Thank you for your service and bravery!
🙌
Mikey, I wish there were more people like you and I hope one day I'll see you around London and buy you a pint! 🍻
@@clivepreston2228 Long time mate, how are you?
This man needs to be protected at all costs. Genuine legend. Long live Mike
Thank you very much!
You've said it...
Yeah , put a helmet on him
@@pavels470 😅😅
Helmet would help
Mikey is Fantastic, he is making London safer. Drivers needs to realise the danger they pose to other road users. If people drove properly he wouldn't have anything to report.
Thanks so much! Yes, I would prefer not to feel the need to film all the time. I rarely feel the need to film in the Netherlands, although drivers there are just as bad as in the UK.
@@CyclingMikey thanks for making the world a better place. Go get 'em.
If people didn’t kill people there wouldn’t be any murders as well
safer from people that are stationary at traffic and having a look at their phones lol..get a grip and use your brains a little better you fool.
Yes he would he’d just stalk somewhere else
Well done mikey, I'm 86 now and a retired professional delivery driver. One of my jobs was to deliver fruit juice to just about every hotel in London. Another job of mine was to drive the London Transport buses, mainly on the busy 109 route in London. In all the years I was driving in London I never came across such ABSOLUTE PIGS that you expose. They should be removed from our roads permanently.
Cycling Mikey is a legend, and I wish there were more like him.
Thank you Mike for making a difference.
I wish I could buy you a pint/coffee.
There are more and more such people all over the world. In Poland, it is still unreasonable to "pick on" drivers with their phones. We have much more to do with driving culture. I respect Mikey very much
Thanks man! I appreciate that so much, as well as our many years of interaction on CZcams.
You dont always need to prosecute but educate people if what hee does changes peoples driving habits for the better and makes them safer that's good thing it could save a life
@@ericwalsh3200 Yes, if it were possible to change behaviour without prosecution, I'd be fine with that. My impression is that most people won't change without actual punishment, and that's been confirmed by several police officers. I've caught quite a few drivers more than once, btw., which usually results in disqualification if it's for a mobile phone offence.
I agree persistent offenders need to be prosecuted these are are the people that think the law dosebtcapply to them most people are compliant but still see it ever day from my truck cab
You do a great job, Mikey. (and I'm not a cyclist, just a car driver and pedestrian)
There needs to be more like you, trying to keep pedestrians, and cyclists safe.
Excellent work, Mike! I'm really impressed by all the IT work going on in the background to make the recordings available to the prosecution.
Mikey really annoys the worst people alive and for that reason I think he’s awesome
Ah you're awesome, Hannah! Thank you so much.
If you think people breaking traffic rules are the worst people alive, you are truly ignorant.
@@petesmitt cry more, cager
@@petesmitt They are
@@petesmitt That's true. I mean, there's you, for instance.
Really appreciate what Mikey does well done chap!
I cycle here in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 not by choice as I can't afford to run a car so I regularly have shopping bags on my handlebars and rear carrier and I get as many close calls from the lycra loppers as much as reckless motorists every day.. you feel very vulnerable out there on the roads and the attitude of some motorists is just hate and rage towards us daily cyclists not the weekend crowd who think they're in the Tour breaking lights, up on paths and three abreast blocking traffic and giving the rest of us a bad name and reputation. This is a problem that needs to be addressed imo.. keep up your great work Mikey !
Love this guy. He is fearless and a real cycling legend. He’s right, we should all be doing something like this to help improve safety.
Thanks, more of a leg end really. Also I'm filled with fear all the time, I might seem calm and relaxed on camera and on the outside, less so on the inside.
What should we all be doing again Dave? Impersonating police? Chasing criminals for them? Why not just join the force lmao
He’s fearless because he records everything and works closely with the police, guys a protected nonce👍🏻
My uncle was a cyclist. He got doored by a drunk driver. Lost a kidney. Received the wrong medication (very rare reaction) and ended up a schizophrenic. Stopped eating. Taking medication. Ended up having multiple mini strokes, and was in a home for the little rest of his life. He was a happy, easy going, very intelligent person before it all. What really set him off was when he was in the operating room, the surgeon said "this one is dead". And he could hear every word. Sorry for rambling on, I still miss him loads.
That’s very sad to hear. Sorry about your uncle. What a tragic accident
Im afraid its only a matter of time before somebody knocks him out.
It will only take the wrong person in the wrong mood one day.
Love cycling in Regent’s Park. I’ve thankfully only had near misses with drivers on their phones but Hyde park is so much worse even cars driving down the protected cycle lane somehow.
Both parks are awesome! I've turned back a few cars on the cycle lane there, mostly it's just confusion on their part. They can't handle Dutch sized cycle paths and think they are roads.
What a great gentleman, Mikey is! We need more people like him in the cycling community.
That sums it up- it's about the cycling community , not law breakers . He only shows motorists doing wrong , and who should be reported for ignoring the rules . Bit there are thousands of cyclists breaking the law around him and he takes no notice- doesn't video or report them . Hence he is not the Saint the cycling community claim, just an anti motorist.
Too many cyclists ride on the road unsafe every day , educating them would be better time spent . There’s cameras , yellow boxes , anpr cameras , bus lanes , bus gates all designed to penalise drivers but cyclist still struggle with the basics
@@winnie6354 he does tell cyclist off though and cyclist are most likely to crash.
Your all dicks who think you own the roads
Lmfao another cycling bellend
Great to see CyclingMikey featured - fun fact about Gandalf corner: his first viral victims there were 2 Doctors (they briefly featured here) which is ironic, not just because endangering vulnerable road users isn't exactly compliant with the "do no harm" part of their medical Oath, but because the HQ of the Royal College of Physicians is on that road about 30 meters from the corner and they'd have driven past it on the wrong side of the road!
I'm not convinced they were actually doctors. Doctors typically are able to keep themselves together and display control in chaos and these people were not able to do that.
I think it's likely they lied about what they did in an attempt to justify their actions and imply that it had great importance and significance.
@@kidkarbon4775 Agreed. But they did make the claim even if they didn't exactly act like clinicians (perhaps they were Drs of philosophy!)
@@kidkarbon4775 They display control when they're getting paid but they're just as shitty as anyone else
@@kidkarbon4775 They are proper medical doctors. He has confirmed this.
Worlds biggest snitch 😩
Grow up
I love the fact that he is such a stickler for the rules but doesn't wear a helmet
It's not the rules to wear a helmet in the UK
@@Cade_Media quite right, i should say stickler for safety
cycle campaigners don't believe helmets make cycling safer
@@Cade_Media then they are silly, my dad came off his bike, fractured his skull and now is deaf in one ear, had he have been wearing a helmet, he would probably be fine. I was knocked off by a lorry on my commute once, ruined a helmet but I was fine. Personally I cannot take a cyclist griping about road safety seriously if they aren't wearing a helmet. They are clearly using safety as a convenience to make pedantic points about rights of way. They may think they are helping but they don't do us any favours in the long run.
@@mikelewis2533And he seems to wear dark clothing which is ridiculous. When I'm cycling I always wear something hi-vis and a crash hat. I'm a car driver too so I know how invisible cyclists are to fast moving cars and trucks .
Gandalf Corner. Absolutely what every cyclist, riders need. Muppets. Big love
Seen this chaps work in the press and on some cycling websites 'Mr Thou Shall Not Pass' on the wrong side of the road. Legend!
A genuine moment of joy when I saw the thumbnail and knew you were talking to the absolute legend... Cycling Mikey 😀
I heard you lost your case...brilliant.
I first come across Mikey from LBC (Steve Allen). He mentioned him, so I looked him up. Great guy. Mikey has such a good voice radio voice (if he went on it). Would always say Hi if I saw him, but I don't travel into London, but am a regular viewer of his videos. Love the channel! :)
Well done Mikey, you and everyone who uses cameras to report bad driving are role models.
What's really interesting with this behind the scenes is just how visible Mikey is when he's catching somebody. It really demonstrates just how oblivious they are when he's right there at the window and they don't even notice.
But why should anyone give a sh1t about some random guy?
He's not the police, If this corner was near me I'd I'd there just to knock him out
Almost as if they’re not expected some Voldemort looking nonce to creep up behind them with a go pro on his head
Sooner or later someone is going to put his lights out
Possible. Drivers exagerate fast.
And they will end up in prison.
Excellent video Francis. You really let the message/messenger speak.
Total legend that Mike. Thanks for doing what you're doing Mike if you're reading these posts.
My mother's good friend was hit by a reversing car going back up a 1 way street at 10mph and was hospitalised for months and eventually passed away. People (drivers or not) forget how deadly they can become once they get behind the wheel of a car. You're drier, warmer than everyone else and likely to get where you're going in much more comfort than anybody else you'll encounter on your drive, have a bit of patience for the pedestrians and cyclists that are decongesting the roads for you
Where are the bad cyclist videos? They're doing the same as the cars on that corner.
This guy is a true gentleman. It was fun to see him get excited about his 2tb NAS full of a years worth of video. 😂
Just hope he's managing his GDPR responsibilities.... A SAR from a few thousand people would keep him quite busy...
Legend. I like his rational aproach, i only knew about this method where you like hitting mirrors of cars and leave…🤷🏻♂️
Followed Mikey for a few months now. So glad you did a video about him. His efforts are incredibly brave. Big thanks for doing the video and raising his profile. Big thumbs up 👍
Love MIkey! so excited for this video!
Nice to see you collaborated with Mikey
what a hero, thanks for this video Francis
It's all about the profit from his CZcams channel !
Lol.A traffic vigilante. Too funny.
Well done Mikey 👍
And today, extra kudos for the Alien T-shirt.
Great interview. Thank you!
Thanks Mikey. You answered some of the things I have been meaning to ask you. Stay safe.
Mike whatcha gonna do when one of these guys finds your pad and makes you pay for the citation they got? You’re asking for a problem if ya ask me!
On a good week, I only nearly get run over 3 times while commuting on my bike. I'm glad there are people out there bringing awareness to cyclists and pedestrians. Thanks Mikey!
And I bet you still ride in the middle of the road genius
@Luke Sheppard and why shouldn't they?
@@lukesheppard1065 Cyclists do that for your safety as well as their own.
serves you right for cycling,learn to drive ffs
@@lukesheppard1065 I stick to the correct side of the road (riding with traffic) unless I am making a turn in which I will be crossing traffic. I take the lane in those instances because I have had drivers cut me off because they couldn't stand to be delayed by a few seconds of going slower to let me take my turn. I have been run off of the road though even when sticking to the side because of those arrogant drivers that think that only cars should be on the road as if there isn't plenty of space. While I have certainly encountered arrogant cyclists that disobey traffic laws and become a nuisance, a cyclist is much less of a danger than a driver in a vehicle that can crush a person and/or accelerate to deadly speeds in less than a minute.
Excellent. The man behind the camera. Go Mike. More power to your elbow
What a top bloke! Fantastic work! Want to come to St Kilda Road in Melbourne Australia?
The collab we needed. Love mikeys work 👍🏽
If he wants too be a police officer then join the police. He will get seriously hurt if he tries to stop the wrong person. I myself am sick to death if pricks like this who think they have the right to do as they like.
Maybe he doesn't want to be a Police Officer?
@@cholloway0046 Yep, I don't want to be a police officer. That's a hard job. It's easy to do this in a few minutes a day of my spare time.
@@CyclingMikey what gives you the right to stop others doing as they please? You are not the police and it’s a free country. You have no right to stop people doing as they please. Unless you are a saint you should mind your own business as what others do has nothing to do with you. I have to laugh as well it sounds to me as though you are not even English. You are in a foreign country telling the English what to do, your arrogance and self righteousness knows no bounds. Do you chase other cyclists down that ride through red lights or are you selective with your policing? When you see cyclists riding on the pavement do you stop them like you do the motorists?
@@cholloway0046 maybe the people of London don’t want him telling them what to do? If the people of London wanted a self appointed police force I am sure there would be one by now. The arrogance of thinking that you can tell others what to do is beyond belief, it’s called self righteousness and the self righteous shout and ball at others when they break the law for instance whilst all the time forgetting that they themselves have broken a law themselves. The hypocrisy of this guy is going to be there for all to see that know him. They will know what he has done and I wonder how he would feel if they stood up in public and shouted about that.
@@user-bu9nb8wr6e Xenophobia, you're a nice person. It's you and the drivers who think they have the right to do as you please. Camera cyclists, and there are tens of thousands of us, are here to stop that bad driving behaviour. I'm not even in the top ten most prolific reporters in London.
Thank you for the good video. Could you also make a video about your setup for video archiving? I would be interested in doing something similar.
Cycling Mikey is a legend. Keep up the good work mate 👍🏼. Brilliant you got him on the channel
Thank you so much!
We need people like this in America. I'm sick of chuckle-heads being on their phones all the time here. Nobody seems to ever pay attention anymore, always have some distraction. If you don't want to pay attention take a taxi or uber.
@@neiltaylor8198 I suppose that's fair although in tesla vehicles specifically, they are working on self-driving so less accidents because of lack of vigilance. The issue primarily is that humans are terrible at keeping focus typically so removing any distractions have at least some potential to reduce threats to other people occupying the roadways. Not to mention a large number of people still don't even own vehicles with screens (like myself), whereas the number of people who have a smartphone is considerably higher. I fail to see how punishing people on phones when they are supposed to be driving isn't helpful at least. Definitely would be safer all things considered.
How was court today? 🤣😂
Great video of the legend that is Cycling Mikey :)
Ah, I see Mikey's Wayland Yutani T under his sweatshirt! I have the same T and I have a ballcap to match. Nice.
im a car enthusiast and a cyclist and i agree with this man.
we lost a family member because he was hit by a bad driver.
I’m sorry to hear that was he stuck in traffic ?
While I wish I had the resources, charisma, and talent to make the content you do Francis, this is truly the reason I consider riding with a recording device. Thank you for using your platform(s) to advocate for our shared love of cycling!
I didn't fully appreciate just how good at editing Francis is until I spent the day with him and then saw him produce this video. I'm gobsmacked to be honest! I better start upping my game haha!
Mikey is amazing... God bless you.
Greetings from Argentina.
Totally awesome! Kudos.
I'm very thankful for the efforts of people such as Mikey as it increases the chances of me getting home to my family.
Distracted driving destroys families, no two ways about it.
Waahaaay! Long time subscriber and thank you. I'm just one of the more well known ones, and thankfully there are many thousands of us all helping to make our roads safer.
But it's ok for Creepy Mikey to weave about live roads distracting them.
Thanks for covering Mikey, Francis! This guy is a legend! Still looking forward to the day I bump into him :)
That's also what an angry motorist might say.
Thanks so much!
Great video, awesome story! Also.... Gandalf corner 🤣👌🏼
Good video. What is Mikeys line of work?. He said hes a transport cyclist but not sure if that relates to work?.
Maybe what he mean is urban biker, just an ordinary man using bike moving from A to B and not a hobby as tour-de-X-cyclist aka race cyclist.
Professional snitch.
I'm a cyclist and I think he's a bit of a weapon.
He's got the tunnel vision of someone with a cause or maybe even an obsession. I've seen one or two of his videos where he just goes too far with people, there's one where he gets into an argument with a pedestrian over a completely innocuous comment.
Another thing is, Michael often talks about distraction, and how even using a phone when stationary can cause long-lasting distracted driving even after you put the phone down. Which is completely a fair point, but another thing that causes distracted driving is anger. So many of his videos turn into angry shouting matches that end when the motorist drives off in a state of clear defensive anger. Ultimately the motorist's fault for not obeying the law, obviously - but the reality still is that after their encounter with Michael they're probably more likely to cause an accident than they were before.
I think he'd be doing a better job if he just got the video/photo evidence (which as he says in the video is very reliable) rather than showboating for youtube and creating long lines of pissed-off motorists.
Well said sir. Totally agree.
And me👍
Exactly. He intentionally seeks confrontation and winds people up. He could easily record and report without looking for arguments with random motorists in the hopes of getting something dramatic for CZcams. He's an absolute hypocrite and does more harm than good. Obviously his fanboys are too daft too notice any of this.
I'm neither a cyclist or a car driver but having watched some of Mikey's videos I actually disagree with most of the comments here. I think he is more of a menace to be honest and our roads would be safer if he wasn't on them. His behaviour is dangerous, and sure illegal?, at times (the regents park corner). And his aggressive and antagonistic interactions with drivers is just the wrong way to do it. Thank God our police are better trained than this.
He literally posts all his videos to the police, who act on them by prosecuting the drivers not Mikey. Do you think the would do that if he was breaking the law? BTW which laws do you think he's breaking?
@@zivkovicable I'm referring specifically to the cases where he stands in front of moving vehicles, deliberately obstructing the road and blocking it to all traffic. I pay my taxes and I expect the Police to prosecute all law breakers.
I find the opinion of his blanket statement people who disagree with what he does supports law breaking and we have zero integrity .That is absolutely wrong there are beautiful decent law abiding people who just disagree with Lord Mickey
What a top man, thank you my friend!
Glad you featured him ✌️✌️
I drive a car, but I also ride a motorcycle and pushbike, but I do not drive like these idiots. This guy is doing the right thing, stopping idiot drivers putting others lives endanger.
Thank you, Francis, for kindly spreading the word about Mikey. 🙂 And thank you EVER so much for what you are doing and for sharing it with us, Mikey. Absolutely FANTASTIC and deeply appreciated by ALL road users. 🙂🙂🙂 UNFORTUNATELY, you are very much needed, so thanks again! 🙂
im heavily interested in this channel but only came across it due to searching about a person i originally found to be unpleasant based on what I saw online. now I see this channel where you show "the life of a cyclist" and your insta, photography work etc, I start to realise that there are many "professional" cyclists out there that really do deserve a lot of respect
unfortunately im banned from Mikey's channel due to past comments that he did not agree with tho do find some of his videos interesting. in the meantime ill sub to this channel as ive got a newfound angle and interest for cycling. would love to be able to comment on Mikey's videos but ahh well 😎
In Australia, if you touch an electronic device whilst driving (including stationary at a stop sign or Traffic light) which is not in a manufacturers holder, GUILTY! Been like this for a long time. But still not that many get caught.
Drivers on the wrong side of the road …then they argue about it 🤷🏼♂️🤣…this guy does a great job! Hope you bought him a huge bag of Greggs sausage vegan rolls 🤗☺️👍🏻

Love Mike's Gandalf Corner Videos!!!
Long may he continue!! 🎉🥰❤️
Can you also interview CyclingGaz? 🤞🙏
I was driving home from work on Wednesday, I was at the front of a set of traffic lights, driver behind, eyes continually darting down into his lap. So I thought to myself, I am going to watch these lights change from Red, to Green and back to Red again. Driver completely oblivious, a driver further back certainly noticed as I pulled away through the junction at the very last available second. So yeah, I think other motorists can help too, but have to be subtle.
I saw the Guy Ritchie one! Have to say, though, Ritchie was very cool about it. Sitting in traffic through Hyde Park, I think.
He’s such a likeable guy, so I’m not sure why anyone would have an issue with what he’s doing. We should be grateful for his work. And not just cyclists and pedestrians, but drivers too. Yes we know that he “let’s cyclists and motorcyclists off”, but he explains his reasons for that. He doesn’t condones their Road law breaking.
Because people hate being shown that they’re in the wrong when they know that they’re in the wrong 😁
it's not an issue with what he is doing, it's how he the insults and antagonises people while doing it...
@Ste Conway they deserve it, and should be insulted and ridiculed a lot more for their selfishness and arrogance.
@@steconway9199 They deserve more than insults, especially when their laziness and stupidity is endangering the lives of both cyclists and pedestrians.
@@kevinbarnbrook4728 have you never done something you shouldn't while driving, 32 in a 30, 75 in a 70?
Mikey is an absolute LEGEND I just love watching people getting angry when they have been caught.
He causes drivers to be even more distracted because of his silly interactions with them. Dangerous
What an awesome guy. Braver than I am!
WHAT A COLLAB OH MY GOD
Sadly there is not enough people like mikey doing this...still a big nationwide issue.
I like what he’s doing, but some of the spots in which he was filming people looked like the cars were stopped or practically stopped. I know the law is the law but a quick look at your phone to check your GPS or a text when you’re stopped doesn’t appear to have any danger. Now if you’re moving that’s totally different. Maybe I just didn’t see that correctly but I can definitely understand his conviction regardless and I understand that some people are completely paying no attention
Mikey doesn’t make the rules. He helps to enforce the rules that we as neighbours must all abide by
Glad someone said it 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The people using their phones stopped are the same people using them moving.
Stationary phone drivers are still dangerous for many reasons:
1) Should a child or shorter person cross in front of them they wouldn't even see them, and would likely then move off, running them over. Notice how WFN364 (google for videos) drives forwards whilst looking at his phone? This is common behaviour from phone drivers. Here's an example someone else caught where the driver almost takes out a pedestrian at a crossing:
twitter.com/phonekills/status/1491526464520560641?s=20
2) They are entirely unaware of filtering cyclists and motorcyclists. These drivers are often slow to react when the queue starts moving, and then when someone behind them beeps they drop the phone and hastily move off without even looking.
3) If you imagine these people only use their phones when queuing at the traffic lights, that's terribly naïve. The gardener in LM63BTZ was on the phone whilst driving along, and quite likely had been doing it for some considerable part of his journey. These phone users are constantly using their phones, but it's just much easier to catch them when they're in the queue.
4) Phone distraction lasts for a good 10 minutes after you put the phone away. Even if you're only using the phone in each traffic queue at each junction (which is highly unlikely), then you're constantly topping up your mental distraction and are basically as disabled as a drunk driver.
5) Phone driving is worse than drink driving for distraction rates, and that's why it's part of the #Fatal4 behaviours that police target heavily.
6) Mobile phone laws are about to get even more restrictive because of the govt, police, DfT all recognising the danger of phone use. New laws making it even more strict and easy to catch came in on 25th March 2022.
7) People who knowingly break minor driving law will likely also break more serious laws. Strong policing of minor traffic offences has a strong effect on reducing collisions resulting in killed and seriously injured people. It's good to police these phone drivers.
I'm really not interested in this nonsense of "it's not dangerous when stationary, because it clearly is and it's clearly still very appropriate to catch these drivers.
What a great guy. Top service he is doing for the cycling community.
Kudos to Mikey. Love it.
Shame got nothing better ta fo
Has Mike considered swapping his GoPro for an Insta360 camera? 360 degree footage might serve him well
It's a good idea, I've played with using one. The best use so far as been as Gandalf's Staff at the corner. It got footage there when one driver bonneted me and the impact knocked my GoPro off my cap, and the 360 footage shocked the police officer.
Cycling Mikey is an absolute legend. I have been wearing a Go Pro on my cycle helmet for 3 years.
He is a 51 yo snitch who looks 15 years older.

Wish i had Mike and his camera with me the other day when this car nearly ran me over in a small lane. No time to take the number plate- it’s not hard to be considerate. Pedestrians first, then cyclists, motorcycles then cars!
Mike is a great man.
Doing a fantastic job and keep it up you a legend and may I say being a fellow geek I have the same tee shirt you have on And read there moto " building better worlds " that's you 😀
Cheers! One of my favourite t-shirts. :)
We need a hero! Or maybe a heroine(s). Holland in the 1960s had a death rate from dangerous driving equal to that of the UK, and the change that led to it becoming one of the lowest death rates was led by women. Specifically, by mothers. They had reached their limit as regards the high death rate of children, and got angry, got together, got organised, and quickly built enough pressure to change laws, change public opinion, and even changing drivers too. Dutch cycling is now that we all aspire to. This was a great video Francis, more power to you.
Legend! Mikey is awesome.
Genuinely brilliant content 👍. Doc style covering key/current issues. Love it!!!!!!
👊👊👊
Let me guess the tabloids call him "The most dangerous man in Britain"
Hahaha! You're probably right. :)
Stop a Douchbag and Cycling Mikey are two of the best YT channels. Keep up the good work 👏.
Thanks very much! I too am an SADB fan, at least of their road work. Sadly I read that their politics aren't so good, which saddens me.
Every city, every town the world over needs a Mikey... And hundreds of them, really!
Older than he sounds, I appreciate his efforts all the more...
Well done Mikey!👍
New series idea : “Drivers Behaving Badly”. A great glimpse into the dangers cyclists encounter everyday. Incredible job Mike! Your sacrifice both of your time, and sometimes body, for others is inspiring. Thank you!!
It wouldn't be a New idea!
There have been thousands of hours on TV and social media of motorists driving badly.
Lots of Love shown for Mikey....🙂
Mikey is a legend.
Angry lady at 6:45 - "Cos I'm a female, is that what it is?"
Mikey - "I spoke to Chris Eubank exactly the same way I spoke to you."
This shows a major failure of authorities.
That is always the case when such actions are required from ordinary citizens.
So if you appreciate what Mikey is doing, do not forget to vote a change so he would not have to risk his life doing this anymore.
Well it's not a major failure of authorities, every system has its limits. The question is whether those limits have been reached.
A system would be perfect if authorities monitored every persons movement but that is not practical.
@@william_8844 When the guy files dozens of complaints about one particular site and no police manager every thinks to send their own people there or to change the road setup, then you have a system which does not work for public safety.
