Father lets kid steer motorcycle horrifying internet users
The level of irresponsibility from this father in letting his young daughter drive a motorcycle on a busy road is appalling.
Handling bad drivers on the road is one of the side effects of being a driver. But what about motorists who knowingly put their children's lives in danger?
There are no guarantees as to what might happen on the road, especially if someone is not paying attention or, worse, intoxicated.
A father who allowed his young daughter to ride his motorcycle on a busy public road is being questioned for his actions by social media users. The video shows the child steering the bike without any protective gear.
The father then taps the girl on her side so she can look to her left at someone who is recording her. She looks over and smiles, then continues to ride the motorcycle at high speed.
According to an article on the Arrive Alive mobile site, Capt Blindspot (Ruari Plint) shared some insight about the K53 rules.
"No person shall drive a motor cycle, motor tricycle or motor quadracycle on a public road unless his or her feet are resting on the front foot-rests suitable for the purpose and, where the design of such motor cycle, motor tricycle or motor quadracycle makes it possible to do so, he or she is seated astride on the saddle of such motor cycle, motor tricycle or motor quadracycle."

What this father did was both reckless and endangering, not just for his child but also for the other motorists on the road. What's worse is that the father is also not wearing any protective gear, or holding the girl.
One person wrote, "It's alright to teach your kids to ride and drive, but the right age she's already saying Dad, slow down and on top of it, it's really dangerous."
"How much is the helmet, how much is the bike, and finally, how much is Life?"
