If it had been a sheep you’d have got away with it!
A motoring safety watchdog have blasted Kate Moss for speeding around on a quad bike with her daughter, 5-year-old, Lila Grace, without any protective head-wear.
Miss Moss was seen on the quad bike about a half a mile from her home on a bridleway with her small daughter clinging on to her at over 20mph, according to a witness. At one point she had two passengers, as her boyfriend, James Hince,also without a helmet, got on the back, sandwiching Lila Grace.
A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said “Thousands suffer injuries each year in quad bike accidents. It’s usually through lack of training or lack of protective clothing. Quad bikes should only be used for the number of people that they are designed for otherwise they may be liable to tip over. The health and safety executive would recommend that people wear helmets. They have expressed concern in the past over the number of children particularly who ride without wearing one. They are at risk of serious head injuries.”

Whilst it seems that “SHE” has no sense at all when it comes to riding the Quad Bike, she is obviously lacking in parental resposibility for not protecting her child.
It’s a shame that things like this get picked up by the press, because the industry is suffering enough as it is and could do without the mindless stupidity from celebrities who are constantly in the public eye.
