This always utterly amazes me. Look at the speed of the cars going down the right way. Look at the kids crossing with their parents or innocent pedestrians walking their dogs. All of them would look to their left when crossing BECAUSE THATS THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC! Yet people have the arrogance to abuse you for doing this! I bet they wouldn’t be happy if it was their loved one in a head on crash or knocked over when crossing! Great work and it’s quite clear you must keep doing this!!
I echo your sentiments exactly. What also amazes me is the sheer number of drivers doing this. And we only know about the ones when Mikey is there!
that's the exact reason I always check both ways, just because they aren't allowed to go that way, doesn't mean they physically can't
That VW was banging along at some speed, those cyclists wouldn't have stood a chance if they had met. These drivers are entitled shit-heads, I only wish the points issued were higher, or even a straight ban for 12 months.
In one of these videos the car being "Gandalfed" held up an ambulance travelling in the correct direction.
Geesh what's with the capital letters?!
Amazing how many of these drivers are in such a rush but have time to argue. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
So true 🤷🏼♂️🤣👍🏻
Yes they spend more time arguing than they would in the queue 🤣
the same with ppl tailgating. one flash with the high beams after overtaking and they brake check you ore even want to start a fight.
suddnely they have all time of the world for their petty revenge or enough anger to fight.
It’s because they have an ego so can’t be seen to be accepting they are wrong.
@@CAESARbonds because they are placing too much significance on the trivial matter of your speed, they don’t realise that even if they overtake you chances are they will get stuck at a red light and you’ll catch up with them anyway
I actually appreciate this, who in their right frame of mind would drive like this anyway? Literally asking for an accident which could potentially harm/kill someone.
This could be stopped in one day put a sign up CCTV no access you will be fined
The way he interacts with "normal" people and their pets is very wholesome. I love it! ❤
"Normal" do you mean "white"?
I'm sorry but its 2022 snd that is highly inappropriate in this day and age.
Shame on you.
She was such an adorable doggo. Love GSDs.
The number of drivers that attempt this is kind of unfathomable to me, especiallythe ones that gun it from a long way back. The rules are there for safety, yours and others. So when you are in a metal box weighting thousands of pounds that can easily injure others you owe to them to follow those rules over your need to get somewhere faster.
They don’t see it like that. To them is saving a minute or so. Especially the ones who follow like sheep.
If its a regular occurance a camera should be planted and fine all those who attempt the short cut. Not left to some antipodean to do this.
I couldn't agree more 👏🏻
The trouble is the cyclists that do it have no ID so he can prosecute them.
And why do they believe that the rules do not apply at THIS junction? In 50 years of riding bikes and motorcycles and driving cars I can only recall a handful of drivers doing this nonsense. Very odd, and very dangerous of course.
No way would i be letting the jumpers back in the queue so easy
Bearing in mind, said jumpers have already shown themselves to be selfish, reckles, and dangerous, I wouldn't want any of them behind me. Keep the bad drivers ahead of you, and you can compensate for their bad driving. If they're behind you, there's a limit to what you can do.
So I'd let them in, rather than risk the driver behind me letting them in, only to have one drive into the back of my vehicle.
Agreed 👏👏
Why act like a prick, surely you’re better than that? Deliberately Not letting someone in, is one step away from their selfish behaviour, don’t let them be of any significance to you.
@@damionlee7658 I feel differently. Whenever someone on the road is acting weird, i try to pass the so im not hindered by them anymore. If somebody crashes his car due to handeling his phone for example, i'd rather be in front of it then behind it.
Being a good driver is accomodating the mistakes of others.
As a car driver, I applauded you. Well done, keep up the good work. Too many irresponsible drivers out there demonstrating utter arrogance. 👍
As a cyclist I'm also impressed. There's a surprising amount of cyclists that use that junction. But to be honest that junction is at its design limit with the amount of traffic (including the cyclists).
What What truly surprises me is how quickly the other drivers let them back into the queue.
It’s the sensible thing to do. Keep the traffic moving. Courtesy on the road helps everybody.
Tumshie Pussy... Yes to other sensible courteous drivers... But to arseholes like these.. I would never give way.
its because they can't if they go forward they will legit hit them
@@sarmadghafoor1484 I think that would happen in america but in EU and UK people on the road are more polite and try to fix other users mistakes instead of making the situtation worse.
Disappointing.
I was taught to look both ways when crossing the road, i will always look both ways crossing a one way street. I wouldn’t even notice the writing on the floor.
I always look both ways when crossing the road as well.
But when you have a traffic island in the middle, you (rightly) feel that, if the way is clear, from the side of oncoming traffic, it is safe to cross.
These long videos are fantastic, it really shows just how many people think this type of driving is okay, the numbers are astonishing.
Also nice to see the conversations with the good friendly motorists and pedestrians too.
Yeah it’s much more enjoyable to watch rather than start/stop as could easily be spread over the day
Why did I live in London?
You notice as well that most of the people that do it are middle class types and not little wannabe tough guys.
The thing I loved THE MOST about this video was hearing just parts of people's conversations as they cycled/walked by.. very good. I'm on a binge watching spree. I've actually known about your for AGES but for some reason have never watched your stuff.
I love it.. Keep up the great work! I know you will ;)
He is the best. I´m a fan from germany. You`re the best .Thank you.
I can’t believe how many actually do it. Crazy how cheeky and dangerous people are and the people calling you names wouldn’t if one of their friends or family got nocked over because they looked left like the road markings tell you to. Good work mate.
Not all superheros wear capes - good work sir!
'Achteruit, meneer! Achteruit!', very amusing and well understood.
I want to start a movement like this in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Some of the rudest, most dangerous drivers I've ever seen. Ridden my bike in many countries around the world and this city is one of the worst! Good on you for helping keep pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers safe! It's proof that just one person can make a difference.
Good luck: in UK people don’t carry guns.
In the 33 years I've been driving, it has never been legal to cut through on the opposite side of the road. The fact that a sign has to be there 'reminding' people is astounding. We're reverting back to ape mentality.
I’m an ape and I’m offended. Amoeba is the species you’re looking for
Animal life is highly intelligent, compared to these knuckle draggers.
@@highdownmartin😂🤦♂️
@@highdownmartin When was the last time you saw an amoeba deliberately driving badly? Case rested ;)
Lovely job, I love watching your one man fight against these dodgy people.
It makes you wonder what else they do in their lives that are morally wrong or even illegal.
A lot, I'd wager.
doesn't make them dodgy people just idiot drivers
Do a lot more than you sad people 🤣 get a grip n move
I dont understand why these people think "im turning right" makes them driving on the wrong side of the road allowed???
The ridiculous thing from this video is that you’re so well known now at this spot some of the people still attempting to contravene the keep left spot you in the distance and pull back in. They know you’re there but still chance it. Incredible.
Which spot is this...
The other 2 cars in the background 😂 ones like "nope.. I'm just going all the way around and down the road away from cycling Mikey!"
And the Audi like "Fuuuuuuck. Sprung"
the chicken noises 🙈😂 we love it 😂 that's cool that your mum bred German shepherds! my husbands mum bred Afghan hounds and won best of breed at Crufts in the 70's 😊 she had 13 of them 😊 he used to come home from school and be mobbed and slobbered by excited pooches 😅😂 well done for trying to keep the road safe! I have depth perception problems so its hard to judge the speed of cars when I'm crossing the road 😅 i literally run across every time i cross the road... its also lovely to hear what your job is 😊
You doing a very good job there my brother. Stay blessed 🙌
I can't understand why people let the cars cut in so easily when they have clearly cut the queue. I would have kept moving forward, blocking the taxi cutting in and encouraging those behind to do the same.
Two wrongs don't make a right, be a better person.
They would just continue to treat the hashed lines as a zip merge. I would block them too
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
@@polopowered Cuck thinking like that is why people get away with the bad behavior we saw in this video. Spinelessness.
@Ron Seymour: I agree! Letting the ‘cheaters’ in is just rewarding them for their bad behaviour!
Nice to hear some biographical information. Y
You’re becoming quite a celebrity. Even the car drivers are familiar with your RUclips Channel.
Glad to see you're still doing this. As a small town cop in the UK it's nice to see civies helping us keep the roads safe. Stay safe. 🚲
It a same though that Mikey has to do this and not the Police - or the council not even installing a camera to dissuade.
Helping "us"? 😅
Another absolutely fantastic video. More of these videos and stay safe PLEASE.
I really like what you do! I walk with my 2 young kids everyday and many drivers are dangerous, crossing the road lately has become a worry. This makes me feel better ❤
There was a traffic fine story here in Australia recently and it made me think of one of your videos where a company wouldn't nominate the driver. Here, it's an automatic $3000 + the cost of the fine, unless the driver is nominated, then the $3000 is scrapped.
That's the way to do it!
Nominated for the Grammys?
@@paulg3012 It means name given, in this case.
That's only if its a corporate vehicle.
@@jamesbarlow300 it could also apply to a private vehicle with multiple drivers.
Keep it up, your doing a great job
you're*
@Jay Brent Pardon?
@Jay Brent Are you also too lazy to spell a simple word correctly? Back to school with you, junior...
Good two hear that both your jobs are all about giving. Bless you and Bless that special Boy.
0:49 & 1:00 driver sounds like he's from RSA - addressing him in his first language. Priceless.
Yeah, he appreciated it too, albeit a bit shocked at first. One driver in another video called me a poof, so I told him "jou ma se poes" which is either extremely rude or used with your friends. He just burst out laughing.
Excellent job ,keep up the good work
I am very surprised that a camera for prosecutions has not gone up here for this problem.
Im sure after a serious accident one would go up, but why should somebody have to get hurt first.
The public should not have to police the roads. They could appear to be guardian angels to some, but vigilantes to others.
The local authority need to fix this problem before somebody gets seriously hurt or killed.
Excellent Mikey, you are making a difference 👍🏻
Anyone else surprisingly impressed by Mikey’s chicken noises!?
Yes, Megan. But I'd prefer he didn't 🤣
Let’s hear it for...the DHL driver, cheering everyone up with his bright yellow van on a cold day. Keep stacking em up Mikey.
Please remind me where it says in the highway code that you can drive on the wrong side of the road and endanger others just to turn right?
Cycling Mickey you do a sterling job showing just how dangerous and how bad some drivers are. Also the humour shown. Brilliant.
Wow your still doing this! had not looked at your Channel in ages! I love watching people not being able to admit they are wrong and they have the cheek to abuse you when they know they are doing wrong! Wish there was something similar in situations where cars overtake cyclists while actually on roundabouts. A pet peeve of mine when cyling to work each morning is having a car up your arse as you go into a roundabout to overtake you in the 3-5 seconds it takes to go through the round about.
Some good catches there Mikey it amazes me how many cab driver's you catch putting their livelihoods at risk.👍
if a cab or minicab driver is caught doing this it should be automatic licence revoking
@@JL-rx6hl It is reprehensible of these companies that they condone this behaviour by not automatically revoking the drivers carriage licence. Imagine the insurance claim repercussions should an accident occur, and passengers are also injured. It really is about time these companies, councils, police and insurance providers addressed this illegal conduct. Video recording is enough.
@@JL-rx6hl why do you want people to lose their income?
@@ChavezBlueHair as a deterrent or is it better they keep doing it n kill a pedestrian, bike or other road user? 🤦♂️
Keep up the good work and be safe
I cannot believe the set on this man. lol The hero we all need.
Good job! i love Gandalf Cnr episodes.
Come on we need a YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!😂😂
Hats off to you mikey for standing your ground, yet these people are still going on the wrong side of the pedestrian island when there’s cars coming the other way but keep on doing what you have to do mate, I’m very happy with you stopping these drivers from breaking the law.
That was fun to watch!😂👊🏾🥰
Good form on complimenting that lady.👍🏾
Thank you for saving lives Sir.
I wonder how many insurance companies have come across your videos on Google searches from these people renewing?
Then again, I bet you're probably very well known in the industry anyway by now! 😂
LOL! TBF I suspect they wait until they get the conviction details through the automated system that apparently they use. :)
@@CyclingMikey It would be good if the insurance companies did a quick online reg plate search as part of their default standard procedure at renewal time. Anyone who has a video "against" them, clearly showing their bad driving (the camera doesn't lie) should have their rates automatically go up, regardless of any conviction. After all, this kind of behaviour represents an increased risk.
Wonder what the premiums are like in this area now cos of Mike😂😂😂😂
@@ibs5080 But how would they decide who’s fault it is? It’s a difficult one
@@ibs5080 if that was a thing they wouldnt actually watch the video they'd just take the fact a video exists as gospel, they dont have the time of day to be watching videos to see if they ACTUALLY did something wrong so you could essentially screw someone over by making a fake video and just putting their plate in the description or title claiming theyre a bad driver
Interesting deployment of your stationary bike! It will help stop drivers mounting the kerb!
Well done, Mikey 👍
And obstructing pedestrians... typical cyclist
You are a legend!! Have a nice day good luck from germany
Cabbie hiding his face: he knows he risks losing his cab license.
Not only entertaining but keeping people safe. Have a good one Mike!
your a great guy mikey good on you keep it up!
I'm so sorry you lost a loved one in such a terrible way. If the majority of people had the common sense to think about others and how their actions could affect others, we'd have less serious consequences. This is one of many reasons my wife and I won't live in a city - it's chaotic and some drivers make it incredibly dangerous. I wouldn't even cycle there tbh so hats off to you for even doing that.
Keep up the good work Mikey! That dog was gorgeous btw. 😎
Much as I admire Mikey's diligent efforts to raise the standards of driving at least 8 of the lawbreaking motorists still gained in the end by jumping the long queue and pushing in at the front of it..
More so by others stupid enough to let them in......
That’s not breaking the law if the oncoming lane is clear. It’s called overtaking.
@@thegreat_I_am not really overtaking if you can't safely pull back to the left hand side. I'd call it being an arsehole.
@@thegreat_I_am its not overtaking at that point its just being a cunt
I wouldn't call getting a fine and points on your license which also raises your insurance in exchange for a couple of minutes 'gaining'.
All the horrific driving shenanigans aside, your cheerful and friendly personality is truly contagious, Mikey. Even though you're dealing with such unbelievably frustrating situations, your friendliness always puts a smile on my face. Thank you for reminding me of the positive impact that a cheerful disposition can have on the people around us.
I love how people light up when you compliment their dogs!
I like how this guy is taking the time and effort to help prevent a serious accident happening, the rules of the road are there for a good reason.
Your dutch pronunciation is spot on! Love your efforts!
Not Dutch, Afrikaans
I never get bored of the Gandalf Corner videos 😁👍🏾
They talked about you on the radio in Sweden today and how brave you are on Gandalf corner. That's how I found your channel. Keep it up for the people on the streets and stay safe.
So many cyclists now in London - great to see! We need more people like you Mike!
What's concerning is that many of the drivers that you catch must already have done this before. How else would they feel so confident driving down the wrong side of the road for such a distance? That they consider that perfectly normal in day to day driving makes them even more dangerous!
Guess it's a glimpse into how narcissists' navigate our roadways...much like they do their personal lives.
You deserve an MBE for your efforts towards road safety.
RUclips recommended this to me today! Worth watching in full!
You remind me as a hedgehog: sitting behind that hedge you are hugging for cover ;-D i really like your videos and get never tired of looking at
even at the cost of these people not boing prosecuted, I do LOVE these compilations and long formats (not to mention more fresh) - T H A N K YOU for all you do!!! You are doing godswork.
I just wish more places had easier ways to report drivers. Our area does having online, but its horrible to navigate and won't allow me to upload video files. But to call non-emergency, you easily on hold for 2 hours+.
3:55 is exactly why I love what Mikey does! ❤ the mum looked right, was on her mobile and probably would never have expected someone to come the wrong way round a keep left sign.
I love these Gandalf corner shots!!!
The one man SADB movement, making the roads safer one berk at a time. Thanks mikey, as always. Hope you're well.
Speaking of amazement I 'm amazed that people in London are willing to sit in these huge queues when they could just walk or cycle or take public transport. When will car dependency ever end?
I agree. I live in Sweden and I've chosen to not have a driver's license because I do perfectly well either walking, cycling or using public transportation. My lifestyle simply doesn't require a driver's license, because I live in a not so big town and I also live in the most central part of town, and I haven't got kids either.
If you've ever tried to use public transport you would understand why. Where I live I have waited for a bus to see THREE come past saying BUS FULL. Also, train drivers are going on strike randomly. What are we supposed to do?.
Depends on what you’re doing or where you are going. If you’re hauling stuff or if you are making your way out of the city with a longer trip ahead of you, public transport often isn’t a good (or even viable) alternative.
Our dependency on cars won’t end unless we radically change the way we live and work. People who like to hate on cars probably have the privilege of being able to bike to work or use a good public transport link. For the rest of us, that usually is an unattainable luxury.
This has become a habit to watch. I am amazed on what constitute entertainment now haha
Love your work mate! Keep it up!
loving the longer uploads you are a legend
I've grown to really like these vids -Good work Mikey
Some very high quality tutting there Mikey 😊
Love your work Mikey❤️✌️
Hi Mikey, I admire what you have done over the past years greatly and, the number of people that have paid a price for their 'errors'. Just wondering if you are still sending evidence to the police as you didn't mention this. Congratulations for the time you spend calling these bad drivers out 👏 👏 👏
Excellent compilation with some good Education imparted.
Great job there, Mikey 👍.
I love your videos Mikey! Keep up the good work
I drive an artic on night shift and see all the crazies and nutjob out on the road. I admire what you're doing, but be careful, there really are some unhinged people driving about the place.!!
Great work mate, keep it up
I've been watching this channel since shortly prior to the pandemic start. I'm always amazed at how polite Cycling Mikey is even while thrashing bad drivers verbally. Thanks for the content.
I frequently notice there are 2 lanes of traffic approaching gandalf, is the outside lane all those hoping to go on wrong side?
Indeed! And it's failsafe too, because they can opt to merge and queue jump if the opportunity doesn't arise
More excellent work sir, stay safe out there.
Well done mikey,totally with you and keep safe
It reeks of irony how these people who are ‘in a hurry’ spend more time pleading with CyclingMikey than if they backed up, returned to the line, and continued along the the correct course!
Loving your "extended compilation" videos Mikey. You've had a few of these now. It also amused me to hear your "chicken" noises make a comeback! I well remember you doing that when you were chasing after that young lad (Range Rover driver) on foot that threw water at you. As an aside I also remember your follow up video on that incident whereby police went round to his house late at night to wake him up.
Finally a channel I can get behind. Man in hi vis doing chicken impressions at the traffic.
I love me a bit of Gandalf corner!
Great job Mikey! Makes me wonder how many people get away with it when you're not there!
As many as do this, the police should put up a traffic cam and just automatically issue tickets to everyone who does it. Eventually the pain in the wallet or loss of driving privileges would get the point across.
This is such a wholesome one!
A genuine pillar of the community.
It’s amazing how many people have a driving licence that can’t reverse !
