If anyone heard the discussion on the Jeremy vine show on the radio today, then here is the video of what they were talking about.

This is the guy who hides in bushes and polices the road, yes?

ETA
Yes, I see it is. I note that the cyclists committing the same offence aren't challenged though, which is slightly puzzling

 

[roadrash]

it is

Mikey. Local chap to me. Was a member of this forum back in the day.

Typical self-entitled Larnden driver.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

I'd rather not associate myself with his behaviour as I think it hardens attitudes and promulgates stereotypes, and as such is likely to be counterproductive. We're becoming a dash/helmet cam society, I think, and it's changing behaviour on the road, not for the better.

The guy's a bit of a prick, but it is quite funny.

Ah it's BM. Hmm, rather we didn't do stuff like this, but the driver was aggressive enough, and could have hurt BM badly, all for stopping someone nipping down the wrong way.

I rather like Bent Mikey, he's always remarkably calm.

As for not challenging the cyclists who do it, he explains that this is wrong and annoys him too but he's more concerned with the greater danger posed by idiots in 2 tonne cars. If someone wants to do the same as BM but targeting cyclists instead, feel free.

Seems this is a favourite spot for our friend. I found another two videos of miscreants. This is one of a pair who claimed they were doctors:

There's also one of him turning back a van.

Thought the police dealt with it well. No problem with it myself.

I don't know if he is a hero or a masochist, if the later he should come up to Leeds and try stopping a few.

Mikey is fairly handy. He can handle himself ok.

 

[NorthernDave]

Most amusing.

Does that bike, seemingly randomly painted on the road, signify anything?

Interesting how the (qualified?) psychotherapist Lucy Beresford managed to divert the discussion to her favourite passion, hatred of cyclists. (They all go through red lights and kill pedestrians, apparently).
Is she in need of some psychotherapy herself, perchance?
