Default Why are some people so stupid??

Yesterday i saw what to me was one of the most dangerous things i have seen on a bike.

Some complete idiot was riding in the wet and cold with his 5/6 yr old as pillion (nothing wrong in that on its own). But this clown had not given the kid any protective kit other than a helmet and gloves, and to top it all off had a box of something wedged between him and this poor lad,who was leant over this box struggling to hold on to his dad!!!

made me so angry that someone would be that complacent with their kids life.

this kid must have been freezing and hanging on for dear life!! It begers belief!

I have no issue with kids as pillion, but for gods sake give them decent protective kit!

maybe the kid had fallen out of the protective box and was trying to get his dad's attention?

i completely disagree with taking 5 OR 6 YEAR old as a pillion anyway.

Jesus at that age they are so prone to wanting to look about and will forget all about hanging on.

Somne people are just so god dam thick
