If you're going to moan about children cycling on the pavement it's probably best not to film from what appears to be the driver's seat...The video, from a Twitter account that has since been deleted, asked why kids were riding on pavements and not in LTNs. Unfortunately there were plenty of people on hand to question this logic, as the person who uploaded the footage was accused of filming it while driving. The car's speedometer was also shown accelerating to 24mph in a 20mph zone.
Some have said the deleted account claimed to be a licensed taxi driver, but this point has been disputed by other cab drivers who say it doesn't look like one of their vehicles. Others have argued it is filmed by a passenger, but the video appears to start and end with the phone on the right-hand side of the vehicle...

Man committing two endorsable motor offences, namely using a mobile phone while driving (minimum 3 points) & speeding in 20 mph (3 points) makes creepy film of Mum & kids cycling on the pavement... to question why they are not cycling on the road alongside law breaking motorists!
