A seven-year-old boy in China was seen riding a motorcycle through the rush-hour traffic while his father sat behind him with hands off the handlebars.

In the footage, captured on the security cameras at a junction in Zhejiang Province last week, the child can be seen steering the vehicle when his father holds both hands above his head.

According to news reports, the father was sending his son to school when he suddenly came up the idea to give the boy a morning lesson.

He was later reportedly stopped and fined by a traffic policeman.
