Yes, but on a road with road markings it is a very different matter. The road markings are there for a reason. The lack of road markings are also there for a reason...
I see this particular case of actually the child doing something fairly sensible initially and then carrying it on. I'm sure there is time to sort it out. There are actually some understandable reasons why in this case she might be doing it - ability to mount on the other side, no road markings and having to pass a half blocked road and perhaps not wanting to swerve all the way to the other side of the road or even being more comfortable being near a pavement. Who knows?
