Not right to stereotype buddy… just like it wouldn’t be right to stereotype cyclists 🤔🤷‍♂️

A few days ago I watched a video where a police inspector was arguing with an auditor. The police inspector was not happy that the auditor was not responding to his commands, so he arrested him on the grounds he was causing Alarm, Distress and Harassment. At no point did the auditor touch the police inspector yet he was still arrested. This taxi driver physically attacked Mikey and tried to steal his property and the police did nothing. No wonder most of the citizens of this country have lost respect for the police service. Clearly this driver should be prosecuted for his actions and lose his taxi licence for his use of the phone. HE HAS NOBODY TO BLAME FOR HIS ACTIONS BUT HIMSELF.

After this, he'll have to go into the rickshaw taxi business

That’s because the places they tend to film are police station or other secure premises which using some basic logic a police station has police in it. I’ve just solved your question dummy

It's for the judge to "read the circumstances on the road" not Mikey. The judge can read those circumstances and the sentencing guidlines, and rightly give the driver their 6 points.

Wow, that turned nasty quickly. Just don't use a phone while driving, it's that simple. Keep up the great work.

You handled that tense situation very well. I have zero critiques on your behaviour, you never know what people think or how they will react to what you do or what they perceive that you are doing. Keep up the good work, Mike!

Well, it's content, and potentially depending on how the taxi driver conducted himself while talking to Mike, he may have given Mike something to consider. Obviously, it went completely off the rails.

I'd say it is a mistake to engage with a driver who is outside the vehicle. Especially if they have turned around to come and find you. This bloke is a nutcase. He isn't sorry at all. Trying to blame Mikey and then attacking him. Unstable freak. Even after trying to steal the camera, he returns and still tries to plead his case and blame Mikey. I've never seen anything like it.

Typical black cab driver, thinks the rules don’t apply to them, then gets aggressive when he loses the argument.

I think the law is wrong re.phone usage. It should ban the use of a phone while the vehicle is in montion, not stationary.

@CyclingMikey

Stationary phone drivers are still dangerous for many reasons: 1) The people using their phones when stationary are often the same people using them when moving. Being caught whilst stationary is a co-incidence, not a defence. It's easier for me to catch them when stopped, but so many were also seen using their phones when moving. 2) They are entirely unaware of people crossing the road around them. See here where a phone driver almost hits someone in the queue twitter.com/phonekills/status/1491526464520560641?s=20 See this other tweet where a 5 year old child is almost hit by a phone driver who was stationary: x.com/cmdkenyon/status/1724483042046067052?s=20 3) They are entirely unaware of filtering cyclists and motorcyclists, despite the Highway Code requiring us to be aware of this. 4) Phone distraction lasts for a good time after you put the phone away. 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) Here's a police officer telling you that he has been on the scene for 3 fatal RTCs involving drivers who were stationary whilst using their phones, and then moved off and caused a collision: twitter.com/markandcharlie/status/1604073330751197184?s=20&t=uj8sgu7spu4cTyDqqqds2g 7) Policing phone drivers will help them stop other traffic offences too - it's vanishingly rare that someone only breaks a single traffic law like mobile phone use. 8) Parliament recently chose to strengthen the mobile phone law around stationary phone use because it's dangerous and the science supports this. I'm really not interested in this nonsense of "it's not dangerous when stationary, because it clearly is and it's clearly still very appropriate to catch these drivers.

Well well well, he took the." knowledge" to pass his taxi examination, yet doesn't possess the knowledge to realise he can't use his phone 😮 I think he's the type who's previously done the same sort of thing by his attitude and he's got his just dessert, YEE HAR, cowboys yesterday and attempted robbery today Mikey, what are you posting tomorrow....👽👾🔭📡

Wow, from using his phone whilst driving, to street robbery, assault, what a tool. You must report this attempted robbery, if he had of got that camera off you, he would have been gone, you would never have seen it again,

If he didn’t want to lose his license then he shouldn’t have been on the phone

embarrassment to my trade.

I would never text while driving l just play snooker 😂😂

I wouldn't have gone over to 'chat' with him. He deserves to lose his licence. Cabbies, more than anyone, should follow the rules. He was on his phone while driving, end of. He repeatedly admitted it. As for the assault, he should have been charged for that, along with attempted robbery.

I would suggest pressing charges for assault just so the cabbie knows he can’t get away with his behaviour. Even if in court he doesn’t get any repercussions, he will think twice next time.

@drama772 'Uncle', in this case, references a person that is mindful & concerned for other people's welfare. It is also a title of respect. A favourite uncle is one that acts as a mentor, expanding the range of experiences available in life, that teaches a young family member their own skills. For example, how to fish, mechanics, magic tricks, whatever. Reducing your worldview to sexual innuendo is the habit of some inexperienced, frustrated young teens.

I've said it before, I will never be convinced that a driver who has a switched on phone in their lap ready to use at any time, does not use it while moving.

When I think of the typical London Cabbie, this is him.

It annoys me when they say “I was in slow traffic, doing 1mph”. So if that is ok, is 2mph? 3mph? There can’t be a minimum speed for this, because then they’ll just keep arguing that a bit extra is ok.

the distraction lasts well into when you speed up to the limit anyway so it's not a valid excuse. Plus 2 tonnes running you over at 2 or 30mph still hurts.

Nice to see Jeremy Vine waving at you at the beginning :) Someone should probably tell him what happened after if he doesn't know already. He should have his licenses at least temporarily suspended as punishment for this unacceptable behavior. Hope you do manage to escalate this.

Don’t be such a plonker Rodney!

Taxis should not be treated as if they are somehow far superior to cars. Sure, they can carry a few more people and do not need to be parked, but they still generate a lot of traffic due to their poor space efficiency and pollute a lot too. Even electric taxis still pollute with particles from brake-pads and wheels. Trains, trams, bikes and buses are the future of urban mobility.

This is what you get when you try to be fair. Just press charges with everything.

Mikey, I really appreciate what you do, but as soon as you agreed to stop and chat to the taxi driver I thought that was a big mistake (as it unfortunately turned out to be). The taxi driver committed attempted robbery (as well as the driving offence). If the taxi driver wasn’t at least prosecuted for the driving offence then that is absolutely outrageous and in your position I would also make a formal complaint to the police and TFl. I wouldn’t trust getting in his taxi as he unhinged☹
