Get your own life. And there's no such thing as road tax. Most of all, as a driver, you're only on the road via revocable licence; your driving is a privilege and not a right. Don't believe me? Look at the playlist of disqualified drivers on my channel. Includes Guy Ritchie, the film director. Cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders/carriages all use the public highway by right. So get lost with your road tax - it's actually a pollution tax called VED. Plus you're a freeloader as a driver - the sum of motoring taxes is far less than the sum cost of motoring to society. Pay your way or shut up.

Erm, there's no such thing? And its against the law to operate your phone and drive. The driver knew that. When he realised he'd been spotted, he reacted like a little child caught with his hand in the biscuit tin. I have been knocked off my bike by two motorists. One was avoidable if he'd been looking at the road. Trashed my right knee and right shoulder. The second was a minor bump on my front wheel. Why? Because he was staring at his phone and didn't once look up except to tell me to fuck off before driving off. Had he been travelling faster it could have been much worse. The little bag head was lucky I didn't drag him from his Ford and tear out his fucking spine. There are bad motorists and bad cyclists. But the law is abundantly clear. So put your phone away fir a few minutes. Someone's life could be either ended or severely affected forever all because you just couldn't help yourself and needed to check that last text, tweet or Facebook post.

I am a car driver a petrol head myself, and I really like these vlogs. I drive professionally and safe..Concentrated and according to the rules of safety...I can't understand any criticism on Mike for what he does...believe me; if people got more tickets for bad behaviour it would help a lot in killings and wounding of innocents

Plus it would be illegal to film not to mention stop people like that or when they try to jump the queue on the wrong side of the road. You could yourself be charged a serious fine for getting on the road and forcing people to go back or even for filming people in public. If you told an employer about the reckless driving or parking of one of his employees there's a good chance that he will defend his employee and try to make you look like the one who's doing wrong by squealing. Must be a strange mixture of post-dictatorship angst and a "cars first" mentality.

Such a shame people can't think about the potential consequences or atleast the legal consequences of their actions and make smart decisions based on that.

It’s brilliant how abusive people become when they know they’ve been caught out.
