Cab Driver Now Unemployed After Being Found Guilty? LL67LDY 

CORRECT........................and most of the fines have NOT been hard enough so far !!!

This fella may well regret his choice.

. . . & yet its hard to believe that, that such Simple rules when driving, are so hard to follow with them !

100%. I need to drive to work which is why (amongst other reasons) I drive very carefully and have zero points (and have never had any). If you have to drive for work the answer is to not do something that endangers your ability to drive, not do it anyway and then say "but I need to drive.....". It's just an attempt not to take responsibility and somehow transfer the issue onto the person enforcing the law.

You must be about 90. Congratulations!

The truth is alot of drivers become complacent and to comfortable, like the learner driver who pass there all show and careful, then after a few years there driving like an idiot. I had a girlfriend who drove and several times She almost crashed, like the time she was talking to Me and almost when straight into a sighn post. At the last second she noticed, grabbed the wheel with her right hand and got back into the road, smiling "Whoops" She says while laughing.

He does now.....

Professional 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

She is probably a bike

They do for those in certain club's.

It depends how close you are to the Chief Constable.

@@JohnSmithShields Sorry but Magistrate's and Judges are not influenced by the police. They've imprisoned many of them over recent years.

I had to pick up a 'phone from a footwell once (I've since bought a better cradle). I didn't look at all like that.

Over here it seems to be overlooked a lot as well. Besides, sitting in a speed van busting people for doing 2 KPH (1.6 miles) over is easy money and "makes the roads safer". Nevermind texting and slamming someone up the rear. That'll never happen right :D

@@roadmonitoroz No issue with prosecuting speeding drivers either. I'd be interested to know the actual proportion going 2kph over - everyone I've ever spoken to who's been caught speeding was only goiong 1 mph over the limit. Anybody would think that drivers never speed more than that 😂

@@bestbehave Drivers do more than that (of course) , but you can get pinged for that. A few things though: Speed cameras aren't that accurate (i.e. have limited of accuracy). Second, vehicle speedometers aren't perfectly accurate either. I've had 2 vehicles so far that actually read lower than the speed you're going.. i.e. showing 60 and you're doing 63. I've of course had others that read the other way (showing 63 and doing 59) This means if your speedo is reading low and you're rocking 60 (really 63) and the speed van is reading high , it will then ping you saying you're doing 67 or 68 when you're really doing 63. I got pinged for doing (from memory 45 ? ??? in a 40 zone. I was actually doing 42 (2 over). It is so easy to crawl 2 over the limit (especially in a 40 KPH zone) in a car and really easy to crawl over to 50 + on a motorcycle in a 40 zone (I can break 100 in 1st gear) Anyway, the time I got done for 42 , I went down and measured with a laser tape measure (down to 1 cm) and cross referenced this at 60 frames / second video footage. I was doing 42, so was technically speeding (if only for a few seconds) . Even if you're not speeding and you get done, it costs you more money than the ticket to fight it (got to get an expert in to court) so it's better just to pay the $300 ticket for 2 KPH over. I'd prefer to be watching the road and hazards than constantly staring at my speedometer as watching the speedo takes your eyes and concentration off the road (as does a phone)

@@roadmonitoroz Not the case, camera manuafacturers are pretty particular about the accuracy of their products - if they weren't reliable they'd have no market, and by now there'd have been loads of test cases demonstrating that . In addition speedos by law cannot show you goiong slower than you are - the error band is always in the favour of safety in UK &Europe, and I'd doubt that that is different in other western jurisdictions Your anecdote about being 2 over the limit is simply a reflection of my point that drivers are never more than 2 over the limit. You even claim to be able to tell that you were definitely going 42, in the same post you claim your speedo is inaccurate. In addition as your last sentence claims that you don't monitor your speed as it distracts from driving - I can only speculate on how you "knew" your speed at teh time you got caught. Basically, you got caught speeding, haven't learned the lesson that you need to slow down, but instead decided to think up all kinds of excuses as to why the speedo was wrong, the camera was wrong, you weren't speding as much as you were (even though you were definitely were), how it's unfair, and you don't know whether you were speeding cos you prefer not to pay attention to your speed. TLDR: cool story bro.

Agree, deeply offensive. It's like a domestic violence perpetrator saying they were beating up the victim for their own benefit.......

@@JustSomeVideos0 - exactly, its an insult to all concerned, and educated peoples intelligence

Maybe he was planning a visit to Barnard Castle.

@@JustSomeVideos0 - Agreed . . . . an outrageous thing to say

It’s would *have

They don't put them down when they move, anyway.

They can argue their opinion but their opinion doesn't disprove facts. If you're not paying attention to your surroundings when stationary, you're not aware of them as you move off.

@@JamesBrown-lc4fw “a ghost flew in through my open car window, picked up my phone, forced it into my hand and forced me to start texting & scrolling. Honest, m’lud.”

I thought that wasn't allowed in court. Who knew you could just turn up and say anything?

Now*?

Hahaha😂😂😂

😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣

As long as he doesn't end up with one of those cycle rickshaws with the horrible music! 😭

It is then considered the same as using your car stereo or car controls such as lights and heater. Also the big screens in EVs are essentially iPads, and they aren’t going to be made illegal when we are all meant to be driving them in a few years.

@@marcuscoquer5958 super weird law in that case! On dashboard, that's ok, in hand - no no? Super odd

@@LukeYoYoRoberts Interacting with your car is driving. You touch the buttons etc with one hand and your focus is forward albeit slightly diverted for a second or two as you change channels on the radio or switch on your heater. If you constantly fiddle with those controls then you can get into trouble. Play with your phone in hand - same thing.

Do you think Mikey is in the wrong doing this? Is the taxi driver in the wrong? Which wrong (if they both are) is wronger?

It's made him safer🤦🏻‍♂️

U tube pay

@@martinwhite7876 thought so

Yes, 6 points is a mandatory penalty for phone driving convictions.

Grassing saves lives.

What's wrong with being a snitch exactly? Explain it to us all please.

Grass/snitch/snake are words used only by children and criminals. Which one are you?

people causing crashes and deaths through their inferior driving because of using phones to text or surf the net is disgusting. you deserve reporting and you deserve to lose your licence-you endanger peoples lives.

Aaaaw, get caught did you? Hopefully you revised your driving behaviour, or lost your licence. Either way your name calling sounds like whining

Who is sad? You're sad. You're crying salty tears because bad driving is being caught and punished. You're salty perhaps because you identify with criminal drivers. Your reaction tells me that you're worried about being caught by other camera cyclists and drivers. Tens of thousands of cyclists run video cameras and will report bad driving around them. From now on you'll remember this conversation every time you see cyclists on the road, and you'll think about some of us filming you. I'm not even in the top ten most prolific reporters in London. In 2022 almost 15,000 reports were made by the public that resulted in the Met issuing a notice of intended prosecution. This is in London alone. I did only 383 of those. I suggest you drive properly around us all. Feel paranoid. Google your own number plates. Regularly.

ikr, even sadder now he's lost his taxi licence

@@CyclingMikeyare you finished? 😂😂

​@@edgarbrown4020 with any luck, one day you will come to truly understand why reporting dangerous drivers is so important; then you will hopefully think back to this moment, and feel the appropriate shame.

Karma for you pal
