Will he turn himself in for cycling on the pavement?
by the way the camera bobs up and down I think he's off his bike at that point and gets back on it later.
That said, if he's send this in then yes, he has turned himself in for that- police have prosecuted cyclists who have sent in footage which included them running red lights although that's easy to prove - you can't prove from this video footage whether he was on or off his bike (but it looks like walking to me)
 
That Mikey fella is a busybody and a grass
Fuck that shit. Way too many drivers have come way too close to killing me and people I know to let this crap pass.
and if oyu think it's ok because he was in stopped/slow moving traffic, last week I saw someone go through red ligths on a pedestrian crossing and nearly hit pepole crossing because they were too busy with their phone and just looking up to see if the car ahead had moved to notice the crossing - and oyu know there's no way they are paying attention to what's going on behind them so woe betide a cyclist or motorcyclist filtering past.
 
Is he fuck. We should all be doing what he does.


Being on a bike is a really good way to see in to cars and it is shocking just how many are fucking around on their phones. 6 points plus fine, half way to a ban. So yeah, if more people did what he does the message might get through, a number of constabularies have specific portals for uploading evidence and will follow through with prosecutions, a number don’t give a fuck.
 
The only problem is you need to give a statement and may need to appear in court and some of these people are fucking nutjobs who will take revenge.

Yeah, I thought it was a pedestrian video, and actually wondered why he was walking up the road after the car until I realised that he was 'gliding' along too smoothly/fast for walking/running... 🥴

Cycle commuting in Cambridge I got quite good at judging the traffic/lights so that I didn't have to stop and could just adjust my speed to roll through in a gap between cars as they pulled away, but fairly often a car just wouldn't move off because they were on their phone, so I'd slow down a bit more and then usually just filter past.
One of those ruined my back wheel when I stopped for a right turn a little while after passing them, and then drove off when I pointed out that he was on his phone, one guy was centimetres from hitting the car in front trying to pass me because I filtered past when he was stopped and everyone else had gone, and then was keeping up with the traffic.
 
I honestly believe I could get at least 2 or 3 drivers every single commute.

Which is why it's beyond comprehension that the police don't use bikes themselves. One copper out on a bike in civvies a few hours a week, could get dozens of shit drivers off the road and more importantly put all the other shit drivers on notice.
 
Don't be a thick cunt, it doesn't suit you.

imagine defending that aggressive, homophobic piece of shit driver.
I wasn’t defending him at all.
I was just expressing annoyance with such obsessive behaviour, thinking it an odd hill to die on and that he should be picking his battles more carefully, though when put in context by Bahnhof Strasse , it’s much more understandable behaviour
 
The more you consider this story, the more fucked up it gets…


Unless any pedestrians were also injured, it sounds as if there were five people inside the Lambo, the sixth casualty being tge Royal Mail driver. How the fuck do you get five people in a Lambo?

Also, how easy is it for any chancer to hire a Lambo? The driver might have been in his 20s, but judging by the damage to the cars, he must have been speeding and then some. It sounds like if you have the money (or daddy’s money more likely), some hire companies don’t look any further. Perhaps they will now.

Finally, what kind of idiots think it cool to hire a performance supercar for five people to arrive at a prom? If you’re going to make a showoff cunt of yourself, at least hire a stretch limo, rather than ending up like you’re doing a clown car stunt at the circus.
 
A Lamborghini. I'm guessing you Could easily get 5 in it.
It is not the first time a supercar has been hired and wrecked. There will be a few such stories out there. One of the issues being they are hired by people who are not used to driving a car with so much power.

We get a lot of this when the local Bangla lads hire them for a wedding. Seen some weddings with 6 or 7 super cars/rollers etc. driving around. And I’m not talking about rich people here, just regular lads.

There was a white Lambo ragging round our neighbourhood recently. Hired. When I opened that article I was sure it was going to be that one.

Ah, fair enough. I’ll concede that point, as I’ve just checked the model they hired, and this was it. Still, a parent should have stepped in at some point, but I guess the parents were wealthy and probably don’t see anything wrong with a kid of theirs hiring a hypercar to make an entrance at a prom, and driven by a slightly older sibling :facepalm:

The average hire car company will not rent to under 21's. It might even be 25 for a supercar. I'm not sure there would be much a parent could say to a twenty something.

Just thought I'd look at one, 27 years old for all of the ones here:
audi RI, ferrari sprider, lambo aventador and hurrican, rolls royces

This one they are:
Minimum Driver Age 30 - Drivers aged 25+ can be insured for an additional premium of £150.00 per day

for supercars

Last week I threw a bottle of Oasis Summer Fruits at a car that nearly took-out Mrs Spy and me on a pedestrian crossing on the Finchley Road, whilst undertaking another car that had stopped. Bounced it off his back bumper. He stopped further down the road but fucked-off when I started walking towards him.
