The road safety warrior makes a desperate bid to stop the car in its tracks
A video clip recently uploaded by the Dutch carer, 53, shows a heated exchange between him and a motorist turn sour.
Footage shows Cycling Mikey and the motorist get into an argument after the driver tries to sneak down a road marked "no entry."
Mikey can be heard in the clip saying: "What is that sign back there? You have to go back now, very naughty.'
The road appears to be reduced to a one way street by roadworks with traffic cones and signs telling drivers not to enter it from one side.
The driver refuses to do as Cycling Mikey says and keeps trying to find his way along the road.
Spotting an opening the driver of the little Fiat 500 proceeds along the "no entry" road, attempting to pass Mikey.
At this point the brazen vigilante cyclist tries to block the drivers path, throwing his bike in front of the driver.
The motorist ignores the flimsy roadblock and accelerates along the road anyway, ramming Mikey's bicycle out of the way.
Mikey's possessions are thrown across the road by the impact with the motorist fleeing the scene quickly after.
The road safety enthusiast then continues to try and block the road with his body to prevent another driver following the first.
Watch moment cyclist deliberately stops traffic - but who's in the right?
He can be heard shouting: "No f*** off go back, what do you think you're doing? Go back." at the other driver.
The Dutch vigilante is left to pick up his possessions from the tarmac after unsuccessfully stopping the motorist.
Footage of the confrontation between the road safety warrior and the driver was filmed by Mikey and a bystander, offering two angles of the argument.
The clip was uploaded by the Dutch cyclist to his social media accounts alongside hundreds of other videos of his confrontations with drivers.

I drove pure electric Elroq vRS at Sweet Lamb rally complex – it corners tidily & is mega comfy but there's one downside
The Czechs will tell you it's the fastest Skoda yet - but they aren't quite right ELROQ 'N' ROLL STAR I drove pure electric Elroq vRS at Sweet Lamb rally complex – it corners tidily & is mega comfy but there's one downside Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EVERYONE knows The Stig. He's the chatterbox racing driver from Top Gear. But did you know there's another Stig who makes him look a bit slow? Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Stig Blomqvist is the man who cemented Skoda's motorsport credibility Credit: Supplied 7 The cabin is nicely appointed with microsuede upholstery Credit: Supplied 7 It'll do 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds, one second quicker than a petrol Octavia vRS Credit: Supplied 7 What impresses most about this car is the handling Credit: Supplied Stig Blomqvist. Absolute rally god. He won the 1984 World Rally Championship at the wheel of an Audi Quattro. He's also the man who cemented Skoda's motorsport credibility by finishing third on the 1996 Network Q Rally, in the snow, in a front-wheel drive Felicia, up against fire-spitting four-wheel drive Imprezas, Celicas and Sierra RS Cossies. Proper giant-killing performance. I remember sitting on a frozen tree stump in Kielder Forest watching the master in full flow. Some bloke called Colin McRae piloted a Fabia WRC in 2005 and, for the last 15 years or so, Fabia has been hoovering up trophies in the second-tier WRC2 and other international championships. The reason I'm telling you all this is because Skoda has properly earned the vRS — victory Rally Sport — badge it sticks on its spicy road cars. It's not a marketing gimmick. It has years of motorsport expertise behind it. So we thought we'd try the latest vRS, the pure electric Elroq vRS, at the famous Sweet Lamb rally complex in Llanidloes, mid-Wales. 5 Things you need to know about the new Skoda Elroq It was a lot of fun. We bolted on some all-terrain tyres, added underbody protection (we're not animals), and dialled down the traction control systems and, er, that was about it. Pull the pin. Elroq vRS is plenty quick enough off the line. The Czechs will tell you it's the fastest Skoda yet. But it's actually joint-fastest alongside the Enyaq vRS. Two e-motors, one on each axle for all-wheel drive, pump out a meaty 340hp. It'll do 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds, one second quicker than a petrol Octavia vRS, and top out at 111mph. But what impresses most is the handling. For a heavy vehicle (batteries weight a bit), it corners tidily. The steering is light but accurate. The body is well tied-down, neither rolling on corners or floating when the road crests and dips. We tried the very green Elroq vRS on smoother, less dusty B-roads and it was just as pleasing. Fast or slow. It should easily do 280 miles on a full tank and can recharge to 80 per cent in a 26-minute tea-and-pee break. 7 I remember sitting on a frozen tree stump in Kielder Forest watching the master in full flow Credit: Supplied 7 Skoda has properly earned the vRS — victory Rally Sport — badge Credit: Supplied The cabin is nicely appointed. Microsuede upholstery. Lime green stitching. The seats are mega comfy and will warm and rub your back. The door pockets are carpeted. So nothing rattles. That 13in touchscreen is fast and easy to use. Mind you, I'm a big fan of the regular £31,510 Elroq, so the all-singing vRS was always going to be good. My only grumble is the price. We're talking £46,560. That's Mercedes CLA money. But at least you can release your inner Stig. SKODA unveils an Octavia-sized electric estate called 'Vision O' next month. But it's exactly that, a vision. The real car's still three years away and it will co-exist alongside today's petrol and diesel Octavias for as long as they're allowed to continue. There's a dinky £22k EV called 'Epiq' coming in 2026, followed by a seven-seat EV that's previewed by the 'Vision 7S' concept. 7 Skoda's Octavia-sized electric estate called 'Vision O' Credit: Supplied

Oasis ‘scam' probe launched as Scots mum accused of selling fake tickets for hundreds of pounds
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM is at the centre of a cop probe amid claims Oasis fans forked out thousands of pounds for tickets that didn't exist. Police are investigating allegations that Colleen Ross, 37, of Wallyford, East Lothian, failed to deliver gold-dust Murrayfield briefs to dozens of desperate music lovers.

The pair, from Derby, paid a £100 deposit to the holistic therapist before heading north for last Friday's mega-gig at Murrayfield. But on arrival the night before, they were told there had been a 'mess-up' over transferring tickets. Teacher Nikki said: 'Ross claimed they were still 'pending' and she was sorry. I ended up having to fork out £650 to secure two tickets from the viagogo resale site. 'The concert was a present for my husband's birthday and I didn't want to let him down.' But Nikki described the shambles as a 'sh** scam'. She got her £100 deposit refunded days later. But her story is one of dozens linked to Ross. Cops are probing complaints from Oasis fans who claim they sent cash to her for briefs that never arrived. Karen Alderton, 39, said she paid £300 for two tickets to one of the band's sell-out shows to surprise her daughter on her 18th birthday. The mum of three, from Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, told The Scottish Sun: 'I've known Colleen for about eight years. I trusted her. 'She advertised the Oasis ones on Snapchat, saying she was selling her daughter's tickets because she wanted to go on holiday instead. I told her I'd buy them. But I started seeing stuff online about her. So I sent a message, asking when the tickets would be transferred. Dad who plunged to his death 'from top tier' of Wembley Oasis gig is pictured - as family pay tribute to 'role model' 'She totally bit my head off. She said she was still waiting and would send them as soon as she got them. 'I told her to send my refund or I'd go to her house. I got the money back. But I had to pay £1,100 for two Oasis tickets on a resale site.' There was no answer at Ross's detached home today. Neighbours said she hadn't been seen for several days. Karen added: 'I got my cash back but everybody else needs to get it. 'Another parent told me how her daughter tried to get in at Murrayfield on Saturday with a screenshot of a ticket from Colleen. But it didn't work. She has to stop what she's doing.' Darrah Fielding, 26, a student from Glasgow, paid Ross £280 for two briefs that never appeared. She also got the cash refunded but had to spend £500 on viagogo to get to the concert. Mum-of-one Darrah recalled: 'She was extremely convincing and seemed genuine. But she has let people down and caused chaos. She's a cheeky moneygrabber and should be ashamed of herself.' Many fans went online to tell of their dealings with Ross. David, 42, from Falkirk, sent her £140 for a standing ticket for Friday's show by the rockers, who released the 1998 compilation album The Masterplan. He said: 'She contacted me after I put a message on a site in July. 'Later, she said she was going into hospital and would send the tickets two to three days before the concert. 'I knew something was up. I paid £260 for one from elsewhere. 'Then I found out hundreds of people making similar claims. She has broken a lot of hearts. She sent me the refund but many others missed out.' Some went on to social media to warn other fans. One said: 'Got properly done by that Colleen Ross. Ruined my weekend.' A third warned: 'She's scammed people out of thousands.' Police Scotland said: 'We received a report of fraud in the Edinburgh area. Enquiries are at an early stage.'
