 Driver refuses to stop for child cyclist. - Bromptonaut
As the team knows I'm a bit of an extremist when it comes to cyclist's rights but I'm agnostic on this one.

Full marks to the parent for teaching the youngster to use the road early. Provided you're confident your child can control the bike, ie steer and brake properly, riding behind like that and acting like a driving instructor is a way to go. The kid is well positioned far enough out to see/bee seen and avoid being doored.

Ideally the car driver would have stopped but he was well slowed down and had enough space to his left to cope if the lad wobbled.
