- Driver, your idiocy of using a mobile phone while driving nearly caused you to miss TWICE the pedestrians crossing the road.
Please drive safe and put your phone down while driving.

Not even 'just' talking on his phone, but clearly trying to text and drive which is simply insane. He clearly doesn't realise how lucky he was not to have killed somebody there. What an arse.
What an arrogant man. Please send this to the police and ensure he gets 3 points on his licence and a £100 fine.
Surely some mistake - I could have sworn you wrote "man"!
He was sent a warning letter.
DrMorocho That's just not enough though. The law says that using a mobile phone while driving is punishable by 3 points and a £100 fine. This is direct evidence of this dangerous act and it is going unpunished? Typical British justice system.

Difficult to do much when the police conspire to pervert the course of justice by letting him off despite the case being handed to them on a plate.
I suppose they'd rather the public administer summary justice at the roadside.
Usually a magistrate will demand a video with a date stamp, and clear vision of the driver. If this guy got a ticket in the mail, decided to contest it in court, he could argue he wasn't the driver. A lot of taxpayers money get's tied up. Get police bodycam video of him admitting to the offence, then ticket him.
Given the level of deliberate illegality here, I'd have been strongly tempted to deliver the message about phone use in Morse code, on his roof, with a D Lock.
inverted braille when done... :P
*****
Not on the inside, where it needs to be read :)
Camsplint I’d have used it on his windscreen a nice bullzised mark on it may have made him think twice
I just would have gone like
Hulk smash window
And then go sonic mode
Change clothes and paint bike
Totaly worth it
Hahahaha
We should get some stickers made to put on side windows that say I'm using my phone whilst driving ...
I wonder if Transport for London would be willing to sponsor that.
DrMorocho
They should - after all, it's a greater safety problem than cyclists passing stationary buses, in cycle lanes on their left, and they made up stickers for that (despite it running contrary to the hierarchy of provision).
WarringtonCyclist Like those crazy Russians who stick larger stickers on cars when illegally parking :)
indeed, the "stop a douchebag" movement might be an answer to this arrogant, selfish and endangering behaviour on the road...
Andrew Atkin
U could sell a million of those stickers where I live. The dangerous entitlement on the roads is disturbing
Whilst the pedestrian is on the crossing All of the traffic should be Stationary, and Not preceeding because their half of the crossing has been cleared by the pedestrian.
Do NOT continue through a zebra crossing until all pedestrians have reached the opposite side. You don't pull away once a pedestrian at the crossing has cleared your side of the road but is still on the crossing. The driver and the cabbie both did this. And so did you, on your bike.
arrogant dangerous driving without due care,name and shame these gits and ride safe bud
to be honest the main hazards I see in this video are the bicyclists , not the phone
Report him to the Police, surely they can use this evidence and prosecute him.
Even without an actual prosecution, there's easily sufficient for a warning under s59 of the Police Reform Act.
And probably more effective - the threat of losing a 50k motor is probably more of a concern than a few points on his license, even if it increases his insurance by a few hundred quid a year.
Jack Harris
You'd think so but that's not the case, apparently has to actually be a police officer that sees them even though they've witnessed video evidence, making them a witness to the offence.
Soton Droid
That's a lie they like to tell to excuse their laziness.
In fact, anyone (including a police officer) viewing this video is a witness to the offence, so there is no reason for a police officer not to issue a ticket or summons based purely on the video.
The threshold for a s59 warning is even lower - it only requires that a police constable have "reason to believe" that the offence has taken place and has caused alarm, distress or annoyance to someone.
A single witness statement is sufficient for that, even without any video evidence.
Camsplint
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about that.
Camsplint "A letter of warning has been issued to the driver concerned. The letter contains reference to Highway Code Rules relevant to this incident (guidance only, not enforceable). It also includes references to the equivalent sections/regulations of Road Traffic enactments (enforceable) and their penalties upon conviction." #Roadsafe
I think cities should set up a system where citizens can turn in video of people doing this and they can write them a ticket. This endangers lives.
They do, It is called Operation Snap,
I get the same thing all the time. There were 3 today on a 10 minute walk. They couldn’t care less. One I reprimanded just responded with ‘and’ it didn’t get caught’ He didn’t care that it was illegal or dangerous. None of them do.
People who use their phones without a hands free set while driving should get a ten thousand dollars/euros/pounds fine on the spot with no exceptions. And a 3 months licence suspension. The addiction is real !!
You do know that talking on a hands-free phone makes you a worse driver than a drunk? Check out Road Research figures, they show this to be true beyond any doubt.
Let's hope he gets his Roadsafe letter.
Lets hope he gets FAR more than that.
If there is no profit in it for the local police they are not interested.
I thought you said he didnt see the pedestrian?
But you are right, he was later spotting them on crossing.
People that do this while driving deserve everything they get
Just seen your very informative 👏 video. You're risking yourself doing this but you are showing reality YIP THIS A PROBLEM AND DANGEROUS SELFISH PEOPLE ON PHONES 📱 xxxx Love ❤️ and Blessings to you and your Family KEEP SAFE 👍
Drove over a zebra crossing, on the phine, barely registered the pedestrian and kept driving holding the phone… why this wasnt a big dine and points is beyond me
Hey DrMorocho, would you mind if i use this video for my next Compilation? I will give you full credit in my description and comments section!
With so many drivers not giving a shit the law needs to be far more severe in these cases. If you get caught your car gets impounded as with driving with no insurance.
They would probably be more upset if you impounded the mobile phone for 6 months.
Lol, you could be right there.
8 years later and the lazy cops still don't enforce the law on this
At the start of the video there are two tour buses parked in a
marked parking space, I wonder why the authority's have installed the parking space right opposite a traffic island where pedestrians cross. Forcing them to emerge from between the parked buses. Bad Planning is as bad as distracted driving.
You can Definatly tell by the comments who use there phone whilst driving, I hope one day the get a knock on the door saying a member of there family is in hospital due to being run down... by some one using there phone whilst driving..
Hello Morocho! Is it okay to use it please ? Thanks in advance.
£1000 fine. 1 year in prison it should be.
No excuse......give them immediate 6 points and £2000 immediate fine.....can't pay ? .....take the car away
Michael peberdy I think these penalties need to be in proportion with other driving offenses. For instance in Western Australia driving 20km/h over the speed limit cops 3 points and a $400 fine, about the same as using a mobile phone whilst driving. I don't really think driving using a mobile phone is a 4 or 5 times worse offense than speeding 20km/h over the limit.
michael peberdy he may be doing wrong, but that makes my blood boil what your suggesting, can't pay take the car away,?, I hate toffs, I hate bailiffs, I hate rich arrogant bastards who think that they are better than everyone else, they would shit on you as quick as me and that Merc driver, be careful what you wish for because it could happen to you just as quick,!!!
Tony t that driver has a Mercedes he's probably richer than all of us
Put you key down the side of hes precious Mercedes he stop by then your long gone .
2:05 - LOL;. Urm, can I just finish this text please?
NOOOOOOOO
Though the phone use while driving is a major problem, the video shows that his view was likely partially obstructed by the white van blocking his view of the female pedestrian. He stopped later than usual when she had come into his view. The female pedestrian is also holding a phone to her ear on the same side of her face as that of the car approaching. Therefore she may not have noticed the car in time for her to react accordingly.
I am very curious, how should the pedestrian react in this particular situation? Considering there was another vehicle approaching from the opposite direction.
It's also the bikers breaking the law not staying in lane
Using phones when driving isn’t punished properly. Our legal system has to get serious about this offence.
They jump up and down about twenty zones being extended but what’s more dangerous? Not looking at the road in a city centre or doing 30 instead of 20 through a small village?
Ain't it a shame that you have a clear picture and the reg and the face but nothing can be done people like this always seem to get away with it
You really told him
hahahaha, you could see the scared look on the drivers face!
Leave him alone Mr busy body
As a cyclist I carry a heavy spanner in my back pack. If I come across a c*** driver like this, he can say goodbye to his wing mirror.
@@mantastiirsen7211 kick `em off, it`s more fun
That ended better then most YT videos on the subject of driving and texting.
Since the law change on mobiles while driving, I am yet to see any police enforce it.
What amazing comment! Unless you work for the IOPC you not seeing it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
@@mp3vault 6 years too late mate. Where have you been,.... developing?
@@mattl1762 wow - what sparkling repartee. Stupid and blind - you really are unlucky...
And he drove over a Zebra crossing, while there was a pedestrian on it.
That's standard practice here in Belgium
Merc drivers think they can do what they want, along with Audi and BMW.
Hi DrMorocho, how's it going? May I feature this clip on my channel? If so, could you tell me where this happened? Also, do you have any additional details on the incident? Thanks for your consideration
I don't think he does anything with his clips that I can find, just takes them, not really that interesting video taking.
@@deanmason5827 Good to know
@@deanmason5827 Thanks!
his mirror doth offends me...
pluck it out!
What camera you using?
well you certainly told him didnt you hahahaha
In other news, suicidal pigeon at 0:17.
He should have his licence taken from him then he can use his phone as much as he wants
He drives a Mercedes. So he can do as he likes.
He's a peasant. You can easily tell
That guy needs to lose his license
0:13 I wonder if that sign caused any crashes because people were distracted trying to read it and drive at the same time.
Where is this please?
01:25 That taxi broke the law . " you may not proceed if a person or persons are ON the crossing or attempting to use the crossing" Highway Code !
And so did the cyclist!
Did anyone notice the taxi drive through the crossing with a pedestrian on it as well
The highway code is written in English ,so,
Certain people have told me it doesn't apply to them
:16 The bird was on his phone...
Most of these videos of of people driving while using their phones aren't that bad, but this guy was on his for ages and very nearly piled into that woman. You really need to send this to the police!!
ALL videos of people driving while using their phones are bad. Whether it is for 1 second or ten minutes they offer a distraction which, as is all too often the case, can lead to an injury or worse for a more vulnerable road user such as a cyclist or pedestrian.
You obviously haven't been the victim of somebody using their mobile phone whilst they have been driving a car. As somebody who suffered a spiral fracture of the femur and broken vertebrae says that a life ban should be imposed. Too late to say sorry if you kill somebody.
Big car, small brain. Driving without due care and attention, right there.
WIth people like that just kick their mirror off
The motor biker need to be put behind bars for chasing someone who is wrong in his actions whilst driving.the biker is risking his life and of others in making this video.
Too right a mobile phone should never be used whist driving but you were equally as dangerous the way you rode between cars an d buses.
If that's as much anger as he's going to recieve from a cyclist who is at risk of death or injury from him well you may as well give his car a good polish while you're there.🙄
Pathetic! And not letting the pedestrian clear the zebra crossing before driving off too.
Standard BMW occupant's ignorance. Why do so many drivers of German cars seem to lack courtesy and think our driving laws don't apply to them?
You need some really sticky stickers... that will if anything make him consider to ignore in the future! I'm sure Karma will rain on him!
I'm sure Karma will be more effective than the Police on cases like this indeed.
Actually watching it again, looks like this guy has taken something, the normal reaction to someone tapping on your window would lead to some reaction than statue... so blank and lost to reality... or maybe he's a Transporter and has a few dead cyclists in the trunk... stay away and let Karma take its course!
Thermoman69691 that's what the cyclist was looking for knocking on someone's door to try and get a reaction to make this boring video more interesting
Did you submit the video to the police? Was there a prosecution?
Nearly got took out by that pigeon at the start of the video
Yeah... this guy sucks...
But you really shouldn't be filtering between cars at a red light either. Do it over on the left.
Maybe the rules are different in your country, but I always get nervous when I see this.
its been the way its done in the UK for a long ass time
Tickets should be at $500 for been texting or talking on phone
In some Australian states the fine for talking on the phone in hand is $500 and $1000 for texting/using social media/internet.
Points and a car crushed. Soon put a stop to it.
Drive for half an hour in Dublin and I guarantee you’ll see at least four people using mobiles while driving,why ???? Because the cops don’t give a shit.
Jerk in a Merc, says it all!
Send this video to the local police force!
Hope they get heavily fined and 6 points...ban the ignorant hogs.
Hope you sent that to the Police
Your just instigating trouble, that's gonna come back and bite you in the ass
To be fair you see plenty of cyclists using the phone too. But, as they can use the road without a licence they are not accountable in the same way as motorists.
To be fair a bicycle is not a lethal weapon like a car. And to be fair bicycles do not cause wear and tear to the road surface like cars, vans, trucks etc. do. To be fair.
When you are cought in the Netherlands on a bike with a phone in your hand it will cost you 150euro.
kick his mirror and ride on. no way he can catch you.
Lane splitting is extremely dangerous.
Did you report him?
A cyclist also failed to see pedestrians and stop at the crossing. But thats ok because cyclists never obey the rules of the road
You have to see, when you are an idiot, texting and phoning while driving gives you a certain importance. .
should've scratched his car, maybe he will care then
So to make a point about him breaking the law by using his phone while driving, you suggest causing criminal damage to his car which is also breaking the law. That's dumb logic.
You should give this video to the police...this guy needs a good roasting!
At around @2:25 I would fold the mirror outwards and pull up the windschield wiper.
Would the police do anything if you sent the video to them?
It May not even be him stopping but the car, Volvo started with pedestrian autostop in 08'
I think Mercedes started it on that model so If he had an older car maybe that person would be runed over.
Lord have mercy
should have smashed his side mirror
Where is the bit where he "fails to see pedestrians"?
at the zebra crossing
But there's only one pedestrian and he doesn't fail to see it? Not only that, but the cyclist brakes just as late as the car does. So... where is the bit where he "fails to see pedestrians"?
Like many motorists I’m afraid. These wankers give us all a bad name
But the motorcyclist can travel between cars? Not safe either
Break his mirror
Silly string... we pick a color that alerts police to an offending driver.
Mark an X across front windscreen.
What do you think ?
i like your thinking. Paintball shots also great idea
looks like he stopped to me
Doesn't matter. It is still illegal and dangerous.
i would have kicked his car tbh and i wouldn't really care if he got up all triggered about it
You were right. How many times did you overtake on the left. If you want to spout the law ,abide by the law your self
its called filtering and its totally legal in the UK, dipshit
Hope he sent this video to the police ??
And where did he fail to see pedestrian??
Is that it, that all you do just film, do you send the evidence to the police do a follow up anything, or do you just horde the clips and rewatch them later.
show this to police he will be prosecuted
Just an "FYI"... in the US, lane-splitting is illegal and considered reckless. Motorcycles are supposed to be given, and use, as much space as a car (exception: when 2 bikes are travelling together).
Clearly no-one is arsed about the 6 points and a fine.
I'd Change the law, and give an instant 12month ban, and a couple of grand fine.. I see 👀 about 1 in 5 drivers of all ages don't give a toss about the laws in place.
Why did you not report this to the Police???
While I agree that this use of his mobile is very wrong and it needs to be stopped I have to say that some of the comments here are simply stupid. To support damaging the car or the person or both takes you into the same level as he is. Also think of the risk to yourself. People have been injured and even killed doing just this kind of thing. Don't think it won't happen to me. It happens to someone. If you are that concerned report it to the police and be a witness.
What do you expect. Mercedes drivers are exempt from the law and he looks like a foreign national anyway so will just say he doesn't understand
