Guy Ritchie banned for 6 months - iMessaging whilst driving LG67FOM
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This video is licensed by the Evening Standard syndication department. Please contact them for use. I was quite impressed with his polite and calm manner - many drivers get angry when they are discovered using a phone. Please see through to the end of the video for details on why it's generally still dangerous to message whilst stationary in a queue.

Of all the videos, this one showed someone who was respectful, polite, and immediately stopped what he was doing. Comparing it to the people who drive at you, curse at you, aggressively refuse to simply go back when they're blocking the road, it's interesting that this one resulted in significantly more penalties than others committing arguably worse offences.

Those people should be grateful for how many others you've stopped from using their cell phones while driving. Not only have those drivers likely stopped doing it, everyone they tell about their violation will be on notice. Even drivers who watch your videos on KZread from various countries are getting the point, it's very far-reaching. Your action of reporting those drivers is more significant that your criticizers think. It probably wasn't Guy's first time driving using his cell phone while driving but hopefully it'll be his last.

Well usually as traffic moves up slowly, they'll continue to move slowly, without (usually) checking mirrors, by you pulling off on say that bend in the road in the video and say there's a cyclist/motorcyclist overtaking, you'd force them into the opposite lane with traffic most likely causing the overtaking party an issue or two because you needed to quickly check your phone and wasn't 100% aware of your surroundings. I'm a motorist myself and I've seen that happen easily over 20 times in a week, described exactly like that, pulling off without checks forcing motorcyclists/cyclists to swerve in the opposite lane. If the text/call is that important, pull up and make the call/text otherwise ignore.

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.

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.

This one hit national news and streamers discussing it. Based on comments I would say the majority are against Mike which is sad because they find his actions worse than those distracted using the phone when driving, until the day they are directly affected by a car driver distracted by a phone...

It doesnt matter who you are, if you use a phone while driving, you're not focusing on the road. I know its easy to say traffic is slow and I need to check something important, but if you crash and injure or kill someone, that will be the only important thing for the rest of your life.

In a queue of traffic like that, I would imagine a lot of people are tempted to use their phone briefly. Guy Ritchie seems to be very nice and polite for a 'celebrity' dealing with some random bloke. He lost his license for 6 months. I would have felt a little better if he'd just ignored you or told you to eff off.

Consider the context then - a few weeks after you pass your driving test, you get a phone call from someone you know. They're in a world of hurt, as they've just broken up with the person that they were in love with (or dating) for a year or whatever. Hands free or not, where is your attention? The conversation is likely to be messy, since you're trying to focus on the road - but regardless of the actual convo - where is your focus going to be, after that? Or for someone older.... you've been stuck in traffic - (invent a reason) - you're now late for work, and your employer (whomever) has called you, and they're not happy. Is your focus going to be on the road/traffic, or just trying to get to your workplace ASAP, regardless of traffic laws...?

I’ve just backed you up on Twitter Mikey. Great work as always mate.
When I’m driving I won’t even pull over to answer a call or text unless it’s an emergency. Phone stays in the pocket after it occurred to me that if I pull over quite safely at, say, 10am to send a text then get into an accident at 10.02am one of the first things the police will do is check my phone. If it’s sat on the seat beside me, or more likely now on the car floor I’ve potentially got a hell of a time proving I was legally parked when I was using it.

I don't believe for a second that the figures given for total penalty points and fines could be known by the cyclist. Unless he is a police officer himself, I don't see how he could obtain the information. Despite the wrongdoing of the car drivers it IS personal information and if it was handed over by the police, then each individual convicted motorist surely could raise a legal dispute regarding this.
