Something concerning about video of drug driver knocking kid off his bike
This was shown on BBC Breakfast this morning. A father was riding behind his young son teaching him to ride a bike properly. He was filming on a GoPro. When suddenly a car hits the boy and leaves him seriously injured.
The good news is the boy has survived against all the odds, as the car would've been going at 60mph. The driver also failed a drug test.
What was concerning was the father was telling his son to cycle off the pavement and onto the road, on the wrong side of the road. There was a cycle lane but it is for cyclists travelling the same direction as the traffic.
I'm no way making any excuses for the drug driver by this observation.
