There seems to be a shift into non prosecution recently

Mikey you are doing what we all should be doing to assure safety on our roadways. Why are these people not embarrassed !

Imagine being the pedestrian who crosses the to the middle island, and walks over a line that says LOOK LEFT, because BY LAW that's how traffic flow works, and then BAM, you're hit by a car coming from the right...

Amazing how these drivers don't understand the danger of driving like this. He could have had an RTC with the mini Cooper.

The arrogance of some of these drivers (and others) astounds me! Keep up the good work.....in spite of no prosecutions!

What I admire about cycling Mikey is that he doesn’t give a toss what others think of him. Admirable. Keep the great work Mikey. 👍

This is very very entertaining. Keep up the good work!

Props to Merv. 🚴 What a decent guy to stop and back you up, Mikey. It galls me because I'm a Spurs fan and he's a Gooner but I've followed him on Twitter because he stuck up for Mikey and he seems like a top man. 👍

@@125brat Hey, I was just making a lighthearted joke about following Merv on Twitter even though him and I support rival North London teams. A rivalry that goes back over a hundred years. My point was purely about following him on Twitter and nothing to do with road safety. And don't be telling anyone to "Get a life". There's really no need for that on here.

Why is it that the amount of prosecutions is becoming smaller? What has changed in the system?

The law enforcement is being forced to do their job too often for their taste

Another factor is that trade vehicles, eg vans and lorries, are only allowed in Regents park to do collections & deliveries, they're not allowed to use it as a route to drive through.

How many other corners are there in the UK to do this at. ??

Well done Mikey, keep up the good work!

Well done Mikey, hats off to you and massive set of swingers you carry in your shorts. For all the Gandalf Corner videos, it’s pure laziness and ego. Much like your mobile phone videos, if this saves 1 life either at this place or in another situation where the driver actually thinks and then does the right thing, then it’s worth it.

I listened with disbelief at the cyclists (of all road users) arguing against Mickey taking a positive stand against idiot drivers and riders. Then to add to my disbelief no prosecutions from the authorities ..... disgusting.

As a motorcycle rider and instructor I am appaled at how many people break the law and think its ok. The motorcycle riders attitude was disgusting and he should know how vulnerable he is. If he were hit off he would be the first to complain. I am also really annoyed that they are not prosecuting these drivers, it means that people will chance it even more if they think they can get away with it and it puts so many peoples lives at risk. Keep going Mikey, I think its great what you are trying to achieve. People need to be held accountable. I only hope that you don't get hurt in the process as some of these people think its ok to try and push through you. Keep safe man and good job.

Suggestion......why doesn't somebody invite the 'Insulate Britain' crowd to this junction?

That is a joke that none of them were prosecuted. What were the reasons?

Perhaps the police unit is overworked or understaffed. They have 10 days from the offense to get the notice of intent delivered

I suspect political will may be conflicted just like the public reactions, as surely the law could make it so a fine could be partly used to pay for any staffing required, especially if fines were based on income. And looks like the process can be quite automated anyway with a special uploads website and if notices can be sent to a registered smartphone for that number plate and if police issued certified recording hardware with included upload feature to prevent video tampering delaying prosecution

Do you have a video giving some back ground regarding what lead you to start doing this work?

I don't, but my main motivation is how these bad drivers expose cyclists and pedestrians to risk, and I want to stop them doing this.

This is comedy gold watching them beg you to move 🤣

I think we are all going to have to start sending letters to the department responsible for TORs, and perhaps an MP or two, to complain that they are deliberately ignoring evidence of breaches of legislation. They are suddenly not living up to their mission of "Tackling the vehicles, drivers, and road user behaviour that cause the greatest risk on the roads." I wonder if it is data collation time, and "Somebody" is trying to keep the figures artificially low by not processing actionable events.

Yes. Mikey has 70k subscribers. If an MP got 100 letters - they’d surely take notice.

There must have been some change at the police processing end. I hope you keep a good record of the number of ignored cases as it is clearly negligence on their side, and there is bound to be an opportunity in the future when matters get out of hand. Some officer could well be committing a section 26 offence and needs to be caught and prosecuted.

Thanks for all the work you do. Never give up.

Can anyone explain to me why some drivers get points and a fine, and other drivers get nothing, for the exact same offence?

Thank you EVER so much for what you are doing and for sharing it wit us, CyclingMikey. FANTASTIC 😃

As a pedestrian dealing with dangerous drivers on the daily, I LOVE your channel - oh god so satisfying.

3.44 This British attitude of "It's not your [my] job" is something I abhor. These are the same people who leave a restaurant table in a right state instead of tidying everything for the waitress before leaving because "someone's paid to do that".

What do the double yellow lines along the curb mean?
