THIS is the moment a cycling vigilante films himself pushing his bike into the path of a car in an attempt to stop it driving down a road.
Michael van Erp, known as Cycling Mikey online, has made a name for himself filming motorists breaking the rules of the road and reporting them.

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.
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.
