Why do you watch YouTube?

He seems to think what he is doing is perfectly legal, but it isn't.

He’s done this dozens of times and reported the offenders to police. If he was committing an offence he’d have been charged long ago.

He’s doing a public service.

He’s doing a public service.

He more oftne than not seems to be complaining that those he reports don't get charged. Even with his video evidence that they are committing offences.

You may believe he is doing a public service, he certainly believes that. But there is no doubt whatsoever, he is committing offences himself as well.

I don’t subscribe to any channels or like any videos so the algorithm seems to mostly ignore me. I get recommended such random stuff.
This popped into my page today. It could be a comedy sketch.

What a palaver. I hope he never needs to get the car out in a hurry..

Given his multiple submissions of video evidence to the police, why hasn't he ever been charged with anything?

Probably for the same reason most of those he reports don't get charged.

But you would have to ask the police to know for sure.

Yeah, this. I think we'd have heard about it if the police genuinely thought he was a public nuisance, let alone commiting offences.

He's difficult to like - I wish we had a more charismatic camera-jockey to represent us - but it's hard to dispute that he has right on his side.

This just popped into my feed. It’s a pro down hill MTB rider Logic Bruno starting at the back of the field. Frankly if his riding is irresponsible but his skill is undeniable. I’m just not sure what he is doing is very fair to the other riders who are pretty much just out for a ride rather than being forced off the track and being shouted at.

He can be committing offences without being a public nuisance (and vice versa)

He's difficult to like - I wish we had a more charismatic camera-jockey to represent us - but it's hard to dispute that he has right on his side.

He has right on his side, but he undermines that by the way he goes about it.

I applaud him videoing them. I applaud him reporting them to the police. But I don't applaud him blocking the road - apart from anything else, this also blocks it for people legitimately trying to turn into that road, from the one the idiots are trying to turn Right onto.

Ultimately, who is causing the blockage? If everyone stuck to the law, and drove safely, would there be:
- more blockages, or
- less blockages?

Of course there would be fewer blockages.

So what?

The fact they are driving like idiots and breaking the law does NOT excuse somebody else deliberately blocking the road.

I am not in any way excusing the behaviour of those he targets. As I have already said, he is absolutely right to video them, and to report them to the police.

But vigilante action is hardly ever right, and that is what his actions by blocking them are.

I find him very likeable.

He has a sense of humour, is always calm and measured when dealing with offenders and explains himself well. His accent is nice too.

No. Completely different people.

Mrs JtB and I like to have a bit of a dance around the living room to this sort of thing

Unfortunately the adverts on YouTube are becoming a bit excessive though.

I laughed when he rode into the back of someone and went over his own handlebars.
Soon after I stopped watching - no fun watching a dick being a dick. Anyone can shout at people and ram into them from behind. Imagine if the whole field behaved like that dick?
