The police routinely exercise discretion in which crimes they pursue. These are at the minor end of the scale (since they took place when stationary or moving at very low speed), so a warning makes sense if the driver has a clean record.

This junction used to have two lanes of traffic heading northbound along West Carriage Drive, up to the traffic lights near Lancaster Gate. A few years ago they reduced it to just one lane northbound. This has led to long queues of stationery cars pumping pollution into the parks, as well as bored motorists in the queues using their phone screens. It's almost as if this 'highway improvement' were designed to catch motorists out, and cause them to lose their licence.

@damionlee7658

Жыл бұрын

The technology has existed for decades, but it is an offence to use equipment to interfere/jam the signal of a mobile phone or radio (Section 68 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006). Trying to write an exception for use in vehicles opens the door to potential issues with vehicles becoming mobile signal jammers, interfering with mobiles in use outside the vehicle, and as you mentioned, causing passengers not to be able to use their devices (and of course the driver when correctly parked). There was a paint developed back in the late 90s (maybe earlier, I can't remember exactly, is been a couple of decades since I've thought about the stuff) as I recall, which surpressed phone signals. The purpose proposed was to allow cinemas to paint each screening room, preventing calls and texts. The paint didn't breach the laws, as it was simply that signals could not penetrate it, rather than interfering with the signal. At the time, it was proposed by some people to use it in cars to stop the driving on the phone problem that was getting out of hand back then. I believe ultimately it was decided that removing the ability to use a mobile phone in a vehicle completely was both a safety issue, and an overstep of powers. Ultimately, people with driving licences are adults, and they "Should" be capable of acting like adults. Unfortunately, that is a massive overestimation of many people (as we see time and again in Mikey's videos).

Shocking how many people still do it even though majority of cars have phone connectivity built in

I still see so many people on the roads using their phones, seemingly the threat of 6 points isn’t enough of a deterrent or is it the fact that these people believe they have zero chance of being caught. Just a perfect demonstration how the shitty attitudes of so many people these days, no thought for the possibility that they could hit and kill a vulnerable road user.

Hi Mikey, I commute by motorbike down the A4, between Hammersmith and the Hogarth roundabout. The traffic is particularly bad at the moment, because of the roadworks further down the A4. On average I'd say one in four or one in five drivers in the crawling traffic are e-mailing, making phone calls, texting or shockingly, making video calls. The flagrant disregard for the law is frankly demoralising. I knocked on the window of a video caller the other day, and he got out of his car and tried to assault me. I rode off - I don't know what shocked me more. Time for a camera, I think....
