Mid morning. Residential area. A man driving with a young child on his knee.

Either dad is crap at steering or he was letting small child "help" steer as they mounted two curbs as they went around corners.

Obviously no seatbelt around small child, not sure about dad.

Would you report this? Our area has a scheme where you can send in dash cam footage of dangerous driving to the police.

Yes i would

Yes and I have when I witnessed it before with a child on a knee in a front passenger seat on a motorway and I’ve taken down the registration number and called 999 immediately.

Appalling and dangerous behaviour!

Yes I would. Too many children die from things outside our control, no point adding to that number with the easily preventable.
