Furious row over car driving 'too close' to boy, 5, on bike - but some blame dad

A furious row has broken out over a video of a five-year-old boy riding his bike to school, with former Home Secretary Sajid Javid blaming the youngster's dad for the moment a car passes perilously close.

The clip - taken from the father's head cam - shows the youngster who appears to be a confident cyclist and wearing a brightly-coloured jacket riding just 100m from his home on his way to school.

Broadcaster and keen cyclist Jeremy Vine shared the video on Twitter and shamed the driver for not going "dead slow" - and said anyone who disagreed should "cut up their driving licence".
