just watched the video;
parents are responsible for there children................
accidents are accidents, look back at the video and at the child, he'll forget the moment. i'm sure he'll be more careful in the years to come.
Parents are responsible yes. I reckon this is a good case for going back to our old mantra of 'there are no accidents, only incidents. With incidents theres generally liability and in this case I wou7ldn't necessarily put it on the lad or BP. I'd put a good portion on the mum, considering the lads admitted history of cycling incidents.
My 2 lads have just got bikes. I also got 'em highway code books and make sure they read them. I take them out, ride with them and get them used to hazard awareness, lifesavers.
She's the adult, she's the legal GUARDIAN, she should have an idea what he's like on a bike. Same way that sitting next to a provisional driver makes me responsible for the car.
