Some people really shouldn't be allowed children

Driving in to work this morning, I see some guy riding down the road on his trike motorbike. Not going stupidly fast but not hanging round. As usual with most trike riders, no crash helmet. Not something I'd probably do myself but again, it's your head so do as you please. As he rides past I look in my wing mirror only to see a young girl sitting behind him just hanging on to his waist

And when I say young, I mean around 6-8 years old. No crash helmet either. It's times like this I wish I was a copper so I could turn around and pull them over. It's just crazy.

Total dick and no respect for life. I took Leanne and Pete on the motorbike when they were younger. I bought them special gear but even when fully protected I still look back and think may be I shouldn't have.

I don't understand some people.. A grinding of skin over tarmac at even 30 mph ain't going to look nice!

Can't remember how old I was when my Dad and I used to do this, but I'm sure it wasn't that young, and it was with crash helmet (though nothing else).

Grinding skin at 5mph isn't pretty, let alone 30. Been there.

Grinding skin by just falling over hurts, I have the cuts and bruises currently to prove it.

I came off my bike at 24-ish, last year. The skin removal hurts, but it's nothing compared to a lack of a skid-lid. Mine saved my life, she'd be gone.
