I can’t access the original tweet, Lolly, but from the discussion that follows I gather it’s a five-year-old boy cycling in the middle of the road with his father?

That’s a terrifying idea!

Thats correct Jo anne.  I agree what on earth was his dad thinking.  Does this link work


"Take a look at this video of a five-year-old cycling to school. He's being recorded by his dad behind.

Look at how close this car approaches the child.

Who is in the wrong? 

Is it the five-year old, or is it the driver of the Ford? 

Let us know what you think"

I only see this, Lolly:

In an ideal world, they could safely cycle together, but sadly most of our roads can be a dangerous environment for adult cyclists, let alone children.

Still there for me jo annne scratch

I did a snip and at this point the child asks his dad, shall I go into the side.  His dad replies
no carry on carry on.

Strangely, Lolly, I’ve clicked on the original link again and can now see the video! Very Happy

Love how he bypasses the short section of designated cycle lane there is. Very Happy

Frightening stuff!

The dad is an idiot but the car driver broke the law.
