Mikey Gets A Little Angry with Chap in GD70CAO

- Some drivers simply don't want to share the road. As always, the driver tries to deflect from his aggressive and intentional driving to blame the cyclist. This driver can't understand that he's no faster than a cyclist, and that it would be much better and easier to just relax instead of trying to pass at every opportunity. If you're wondering why I'm out and well away from parked cars, it's because of the danger of being doored by someone carelessly throwing open a car door.

But why wasn’t he prosecuted for using his phone whilst behind wheel.
Because the courts/police don't favour the less vulnerable road users.
That's a good question - at the time it was legal to take photos with your phone. The law changed almost a year later and today he would've been prosecuted for that.
Or knowingly attempting to run over a cyclist.
@@CyclingMikey just shows how crazy the law was and how ridiculous it took so long to change.
@@CyclingMikey In a sane world, that would be "careless driving". He was moving forward, not looking where he was going, and filming you. And trying to hit you with a few tonnes of metal, forcing you to suddenly brake should be "dangerous driving". It's crazy how little the police care about criminal motorists. Stay safe, out there.
Shocking and he also drove off with a mobile phone in his hand taking pictures. 6 points and a fine there also.
this is an older video, it was legal to take pictures at the time.
@georgebarnes8163 It was illegal to drive as he did though. That was dangerous driving
@@georgebarnes8163 It has never been legal to drive whilst distracted
What's with all the cars parked in the cycle lane?! Considering he tried to hit you with his car I think you were calmer than I expected!
I'm not sure what time of day Mikey was going along there, but it's a part time bike lane (see the blue rectangular signs alongside). So it's likely it was outside of its operational hours. Not that I think part-time bus lanes are a good idea, but you did ask!
Free parking and the traffic wardens have been sacked.
It only applies to be a cycle lane between the hours of 0700-1900, Monday to Saturday according to the blue signs at the road side. I'm guessing it was outside those hours.
Royal Borough of Kensington council hate cyclists.
@@CO27I guess that makes this video being recorded on a Sunday then...being as it is daytime...! Either that or none of these drivers care and think they can get away with it... 🤔
Oh how I wish we could affix StopXam style stickers to all of those cars...!!! 😉👍
I really hope this man gets what is deserved. That was dangerous beyond doubt.
We'll keep a watch out for his licence plate.
OTBC🤗
That was shocking driving, he did that deliberately. What an animal.
He didn’t care about it either
Don't worry one day Mikey will get it
I don't think I ever seen you that angry but there always comes a point when enough is enough. Thanks for holding your ground and making drivers aware that people's lives are at risk when they do this.
As a cyclist who is now disabled because of a terrible driver, (many, many issues...) I am literally shaking as I type this. Love you Mikey! Take care of yourself, you are doing a great service for all.
So sad and angry to read that. All the best to you
Infuriating , my friend, take care.
@@StephenCarrIsBald Mr Carrnt you are a buffoon .
shouldn’t have cycled on the road
Can you shake as a disabled person? Genuinely curious.
'Why overtake into a queue at a red light?' The must get in front attitude, it's common practice, sadly.
3:11 you were overtaking on white zig zag lines. The highway code prohibits this. Does this only apply to drivers?
Yes
Yes Dumby
Blatant swerve if ever I saw one. Would additional charges be made against him for using his mobile also?
Hi Micky I’ve reported a few close passes now, when I report it says I won’t find out the outcome due to data protection, just wondered how you find out?
intentional assault with a deadly weapon, he should get jail time for that
He drove his car at you. That's dangerous driving in my book. Let's see if the police do him
He is internationally using his vehicle to inflict fear on his victim and arguably attempting to inflict physical harm. That's assault with a weapon, not just dangerous driving.
The driver should lose his license for ever, he is a dangerous arrogant and appears to be intent on harming cyclists
Just noticed you're close to 100k subscribers. Best of luck 🙂
That was mental! Actually drove his car at you?! I'd be more than angry.
I'd have shouted at him about him using his car as a weapon if it'd been me I think, along the lines of that being wrong whatever he thought I was doing which was incorrect.
Not a psychopath, Mikey. A narcissist sociopath. The difference is that the former doesn't think they're doing anything wrong, while the latter is well aware. The proof is in how angry the latter get when their bad behavior is recognized and documented - they KNOW they're wrong.
Guy should be made to ride a bike instead of a car for some punishment period. As you observed, not only will it improve his understanding of bicycle laws and etiquette, but there would be caloric benefits as well!
Not true as psychopaths can feel empathy, but they choose when they care and when they don't.
@lsdzheeusi all terms incorrectly used and explained. but that's okay :))
To quote The London Dashcam: "It's always a German car".
Diakuyu, Mikey. I've been in that same situation, countless times; drivers using their 1.75 tons of vehicle to punish others. Public oversight has to step in for what he has personally avoided learning until now. I totally understand your stress at the time, most people never get to fight or flight (100% of effort), no need to apologize. I know that you (like all of us that trade physical effort for transportation) enjoy threading through the queue of vehicles that passed you to wait at the light; hang in there, please. Thank you for your efforts to document this person's antisocial driving, bad attitude and sense of entitlement. All the best regards to you 🙏
As a cyclist, I feel your anger and it was justified. This has happened to me a few times but Lincolnshire police don't do anything if you report to Operation Snap. You do get a nice automated email. But that is it.
I’m in Lincolnshire and can confirm that they do prosecute, but, sadly, they don’t tell us the result. If you contact Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership they will tell you the result of your report. I’ve reported so many they now send me a spreadsheet 😀 Most have to pay £90 and a day of their time for a course.
@@RideWithRoyI think that’s wonderful and I’m inspired. I’m saddened by the standard of driving these days, due to people being far too distracted with technology. I’m grateful for people like you both.
You don't noticeably angry very often dear chap. It never fails to amuse me when drivers video you whilst they are driving away - creating the evidence for their own prosecution :D Have a great Christmas Mikey!
That was a BAD driver, please be safe Mikey wishing a wonderful Christmas
Excellent Mikey. Thanks for taking the time to film and share 👍👍👍
1st comment.
Report him for dangerous driving and using his mobile while in control of a car.
It seems he wasn’t in control of his car before using his phone !!!😉
I also noticed those two riders on e-scooters going straight through red traffic lights!
So long as you aren't seeking to imply that their entirely separate lawbreaking somehow justifies what the car driverdid to Mikey here, then I agree and you have a thumbs-up.
You say that like it's some sort of surprise 🙂
Hi Mikey, I believe it would be so useful to have a tutorial video explaining how to report dangerous driving to the police and the follow up steps after reporting. Thank you for trying to keep us all safer
100%!
Honestly there's not much to it, with Met Police you report online through their website under report a traffic incident. Fill in the details, provide a statement explaining what happened and upload the video (they ask for 1 min either side of incident but that's not a strict requirement, I generally provide 40 seconds either side). Usually within a couple of days, but could be longer, you'll be told if a NIP is sent. If you haven't heard from them after two weeks then no action is being taken. You'll only hear more from them if it goes to court.
Car as a weapon is a severe red line. Swerving at you is bloody dangerous and then having the temerity to use you "weaving" as an excuse for his insane driving. Then using his phone behind the wheel? Motorcycling friends often tell me about drivers being pissed about them 'weaving', not appreciating that small factors - spotting a person parked about to open a door, a hole in the road that is big to a cyclist's wheel, or even just a gust of wind can cause movement. All power to you Mikey.
People like that not only cut off bicycles, but they also do the same to other cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, and other vehicles on the road. It’s a shame the police didn’t do anything about his dangerous driving.
How was this criminal not banned from driving?! He violently threatened you with a deadly weapon. It's like pointing a loaded gun at someone. Unbelievable.
That guy literally tried to knock you off at one point.
Have a great Christmas Mikey. That driver genuinely didn't think that swerving into you was a problem - so he was either 1) psychopath doing it on purpose 2) Incompetent dreamer 3) Playstation boy - lives in a gaming world where there aren't consequences. I'm going for 3, he knew full well what he was doing and needs to have his licence removed asap.
I experience this sometimes I am leaving room for the parked cars and some idiot always thinks you should pull over for them or ride in the door zone. I had someone shout abuse from out of their window thinking I would just take it but when I retaliated they drove off like the coward they are. They think they're all tough from inside their car.
You might or might not remember I have not always agreed with some of your older videos but you showed great restraint with this dangerous driver. People make mistakes but he used his car as a weapon and that is mental. Glad you're OK.
The driver education course in this instance was probably teaching him not to try and swerve to kill a cyclist on purpose.
"You stinky" in a faux Chinese accent? Ermmmm....
They just dont get it, they make next to zero head way, blast along at 30 (in a 20 zone) to just have to stop at the next lights.
I live in a rural area and its not much better, on my 30 min commute it takes me only 5 mins longer by bike than by car.
There is literally no need to go faster, just sit behind the bike, save fuel and go steady.
Stay safe Mikey, thanks for taking the time and sending these in, my local force (North Yorkshire) take no notice at all.
Hi Mikky I really enjoy your. Channel,but on this I'm you say cars should leave 1.5 m around. But when you under take cars you leave less than 1.5m . Why is this please let me know. Thanks Steve
Read the code.
And here's why the code is as it is: It almost impossible to kill a car driver with a bicycle.
what about use of a phone whilst driving? did you report that also?
Horrendous driving 😢 glad you’re alright. This is is exactly why you must have cameras when riding and why you must keep them charged 📸📹🎥
I could never be as brave or composed as you (generally!) are. Thanks for all you do.
Trouble with bad drivers is they never accept it. They will argue that they are in te right even when they are in the wrong VW
Emotions got the better of you on this one.
Can’t he also be reported to the police for using his mobile phone whilst being in control of a motor vehicle. Also both his hands are off the steering wheel - could this also be another driving offence, Not being in full control of a motor vehicle ?
Ride safely & take care.
Hope you & your family have a nice Christmas & New Year.
Happened to me with a texting taxi driver. After that, I got a cam front and rear and will definitely report if anything happens like that again.
Mickey, when you us acronyms (eg NIP) in the on-screen text, please could you list & explain them in the Description?
why did he get off so lightly? closing you in like that was very dangerous
I've had the accusation of "swerving all over the road" before from drivers who have tried to "teach me a lesson". They don't realise that a two wheeler is allowed to occupy whatever position is safe to do so within a single lane. A two wheeler also handles very differently from a car which they also don't understand. They can't go in perfectly straight lines the same way that 4 wheelers can.
I’m confused. Is that left lane a parking lane or a bike lane? Road markings suggest bike lane to left of solid white line, but then there’s the very faint dotted line suggesting it’s a bike lane.
Thank you Mikey for all you do. I have literally stopped cycling on Britain's roads because of all the dangerous driving. Unbelievably incapable people get behind the wheel of a ton of metal with such ignorance.
What a disgusting, selfish and dangerous driver, the road is for everyone to use in a safe manner!
Stay safe Mikey, and keep on keeping on
He thinks cyclists should stay glued to the curb and in door zones! He was not even held up...
I know EXACTLY where you were! (I think!) Were you by the Notting Hill Record and Tape Exchange? There's a Cafe Nero a bit further down the road (by the entrance to the underground)
I've been in that situation many times. Any update on this situation legally?
Did you report him for using his phone?
Hi Mikey, this is the first one you have done where you get a bit cross with a dangerous driver, I am reminded of some of my own experiences, in and around he town where I live there are a lot of narrow streets and bad drivers, I took it upon myself to go on the offensive, in fact some years ago the highways people put up a road sign on on of the city's main roads in warning drivers about dangerous cyclists!, I assume that was because of me. We did not have the sort of body worn camera that you can use now so I did rather overstep the mark a few times, one of my favourites was to strike down hard on the left hand door mirror of any car that came close enough!, no more than one foot away, the result was usually that the mirror broke off and fell in the road!. I can offer no excuse or justification for this and I did not do it often, just that such things happened so often that the frustration boiled over!.
Cheers, Richard.
I wonder what would happen if you reported this as an assault. A deliberate, dangerouse act which I feel deserves as much punishment if not more than mobile phone use. Love what you do Mikey, had a few successful convictions for close passes myself, don't generally have the bottle to confront people though. Thanks for your efforts.
ur such a nerd
I’m sorry but you lose nearly all credibility when you call someone a “fat idiot”. I don’t disagree with your sentiment but descending to the level of childish and petulant insults is just immature, and not to mention wrong to ever body shame. Two wrongs don’t make a right Mikey.
You appear to be a victim of car brain, in which you minimise the seriousness of road crime where someone used their car as a weapon, and equate it as equal to a few nasty words said in the heat of anger. Yes, car brain is a real thing. Here's a study about it:
www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/17/motonormativity-britons-more-accepting-driving-related-risk
I'm confused when did this happen? You posted it 2 hours ago
Rare to see that level of anger, usually you are always so laid back when dealing with these idiots.
After nearly being doored and being blamed by the van driver for the near-accident I completely understand why you're taking a primary road position. Thankfully I was going slow enough and was just wide enough to avoid being clipped as he literally threw open his door.
I WAS doored but I was too young to even know what to do about it. It took me a good 30 seconds to stand back up without falling. He tried to help me to be fair but I was just angry, told him go check his mirrors for things other than cars and proceeded to cycle on. I stopped 10 minutes later and passed out in a gutter somewhere.
so what happened in the end?
did you report him for the phone use too
The only thing relevant here is that he used his car like a weapon. Totally insane!
The audacity to say what you did was dangerous while behind the wheel of a 4000 pound machine…incredible
That Chinese guy is an absolute cyclepath, lol
How do you know he's Chinese? Sounds like you're assuming and not great to see Mikey liking this comment as well. Also sounded kind of racist to hear Mikey calling him stinky! I do agree that the driver is a cyclepath tho!
What was the outcome?
Love how this tool doubles down with a phone driving offence. As if swerving at you wasn't enough.
Do people get fined for parking in a cycle lane?
When cycling at speed of traffic I occupy a car space. When cars in front of me pull away, like that Range Rover, I move left to let cars overtake. Mikey's in the wrong here. Then the driver swerves threateningly which is of course even more wrong, and illegal.
Nice work mikey..stay safe my friend.👍
How come he wasn’t prosecuted for the mobile phone use ? Especially as he drove off from the lights still holding it ??
I have 2 dumb questions. 1) Why are so many cars parked in the bicycle lane.? 2) why are they parked facing the wrong direction.?
Would be better to see the rear camera angle than the front in a case like this, unfortunate you didn't publish it.
I really don’t understand people like this. Even if I thought a cyclist was being an idiot I’d still make sure to keep as far away from them as possible. Why risk injuring or even killing someone? Even if the cyclist is in the wrong I’d prefer not to have that on my conscience!
Cheers John! This is because you're a good human and a good driver.
I'm shocked and stunned that you lost your temper! Fully behind you in all you do, hopefully it costs him a lot of money and changes his attitude, {only one of which will happen!]
he was using his phone while driving - did you report him for that?
Thankyou for the daily dose of drama😂😂😂
Mikey, you did nothing wrong there whatsoever! The driver was ignorant and a self absorbed idiot. This has happenned to me in exactly the same way and I also lost my temper in the same way. Afterall, it is your safety and life that has been threatenned. I hope he gets hauled in to complete a training course for what he did.
Using your car like that is a licence loser, let's hope justice prevails.
Thank you, Mikey. You have my full support.
*Riding in a perfectly straight line* - "you swinging your bike!"
Stay safe & Merry Xmas to you Mikey!
“Go do your driving license again” I believe Mikey you’re assuming he did one to begin with.
I'm shocked at his attitude and anger against you! But honestly it's far too common to bully people these days and justify it by using your phone whilst driving.. sorry you had to experience such idiocy! I'm hoping he learned his lesson. Keep his reg in your mind and maybe watch out for.him.
'You fat idiot' sometimes the simple insults are the best ❤
@CyclingMikey was there an impact at 00:24?
Ah no, just a huff of wind on the GoPro microphone.
Sadly Id not be surprised if the idiot driver had already left the country and gone back to Beijing.
I once reported a chinese national for driving into me - well, it was his girlfriend / wife who wasnt insured to drive. They drove away and attempted to swap over drivers before returning to the scene but were followed by another motorist who acted as a witness.
Cops were talking about prosecuting for perverting the course of justice - case was dropped because they both cleared off back to China.
London looks like hell ,just noticed in your video crazy amount of huge 4:wheel drives don't know why they want in such busy city
Oh, how to compound your woes, just hold up your phone to the camera while driving. If calling him 'fat' is the extent of your fury, I don't think you need anger management
Happy Xmas Mickey
Did the police prosecute him for using a phone whilst driving?
Why so many metal box parked on cycle lane?
He was not even being held up!
Does not understand primary or the need for it.
It's always better to not get angry if we can help it. Of course in hindsight. You have done very well so far.
I can’t believe the cars parked on cycle lanes, how come they don’t get prosecuted?
It seems to be a long, long way down the police's list of priorities, sadly. Traffic wardens are good but you don't see many about these days.
It's only a part-time bike lane, and parking is permitted outside of its hours.
I think they are only cycle lanes at certain times
It only applies to be a cycle lane between the hours of 0700-1900, Monday to Saturday.
I'm not familiar with rules d'arn South, but why are cars allowed to park in what are clearly cycle lanes? If this is allowed, what's the point???
Fuck that was dangerous! In the circumstances you were very calm and collected. I would have been putting that camera a lot closer to his face. Stay safe Mickey
When cyling you should allow 1m car door width
using a car as a weapon is a serious prosecution in court
I wouldn't live in that dump if you paid me a poLIEticians salary and gave me a Free flat
Man said say hi to the camera that justmade my day facts
I’m almost certain if he tries too defend in court and the video is played he could very well and quite rightly face a higher penalty when further offences come too light. Or Mickey can petition the Curt for further offences to be considered 👍👍👍👍 Go on Mikey, you know you want too 😊
Your caption, "Haven't you realised that you aren't any faster than me?" entirely overlooks the the fact that so many people switch off critical thinking when they climb into their cars. They become automatons, following the same routes, with the same cars for company, and captured by the same mental distractions day after day after tedious day.
It should be drummed into drivers when they first learn to drive:
- You don't have a right not to be held up.
- Choosing to use a car is choosing to accept the risk of being held up.
- You are not in traffic. You ARE traffic.
It's the same in Australia. Some drivers, if they see a gap in front of you, they feel compelled to overtake and fill it. Even if you're about to overtake the queue in front of you on your bike. Car brain.
