Taxi driver warns CyclingMikey he will 'end up needing the dentist' after challenging phone use — the driver is now being investigated by TfL Taxi & Private Hire but avoided prosecution as the Metropolitan Police 'ran out of time' cycling
CyclingMikey's latest video shows a London taxi driver telling him he will"end up needing the dentist" after he challenged the professional driver's mobile phone use behind the wheel.
Filmed in Hyde Park in July of last year, the footage shows the taxi driver moving forward while holding a mobile device in his hand for several metres before Mikey asks:"What's that you're holding in your left hand?" In response to being told the footage will be going to the police, the taxi driver replied:"You can do what you like."
And while he reported that the Metropolitan Police had begun prosecuting, they apparently ran out of time, Mikey suggesting that"the Allegations Team at Marlowe House were coping with an IT system change and were understaffed and overworked".After sharing the video on social media, TfL's Taxi & Private Hire department replied thanking the cyclist for the report, adding that it has been"passed on for investigation".
