TL;DR Summary

Mike Van Erp, also known as "Cycling Mikey," has taken it upon himself to make London's roads safer by filming drivers breaking the law, usually by handling cell phones, with the camera attached to his helmet during his cycling commute to and from work. He then hands his videos over to police to use as evidence. He estimated to CBS News that he's reported about 1,100 people over the past five years, with more than 800 being successfully prosecuted for driving offenses. Van Erp's father was killed in an accident caused by a drunk driver, which fuels his effort to make London's roads safer for his own children.
