Kate Moss under fire for speeding around on a quad bike with five-year-old daughter

Careering across a farmer's field on a quad bike, Kate Moss and her daughter Lila Grace were clearly having fun.

But the supermodel was accused yesterday of taking an unacceptable risk with the five-year-old's life after they both failed to wear crash helmets for the ride. Scroll down for more...

'Stirling Moss': Kate speeds along with daughter Lila Grace clinging on

Miss Moss, 34, took control of the newlooking vehicle on a bridleway half a mile from her country home in the Cotswolds. Witnesses said she drove at well over 20mph.

At one point she had two passengers - with an equally helmetless boyfriend Jamie Hince on the back and Lila sandwiched between the two adults.
Hince, 39-year-old guitarist with the rock group The Kills, did not seem overly confident in his girlfriend's driving skills. He jumped off the bike more than once, leaving Lila Grace to cling on to her mother.
Miss Moss is a keen quad biker and has previously been seen riding with her then boyfriend, heroin addict Pete Doherty.
A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said: 'Thousands suffer injuries each in 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 from serious head injuries.'

Cokate is a coke whore, people can't possibly be surprised that she's not the Mother of the Year.

Wow... I've only know like 5 kids that have died on one of those things...

**crackho** · April 27th, 2008, 11:55 PM

All things considered, this is probably one of the safer things this poor child has been exposed to.

Those things are incredibly dangerous. They can flip without warning. Ozzy Osbourne broke his neck on one of those things. However to give Kate credit, she comes across as an involved mother.

Kate needs to put Lila in front of her.

**Just Kill Me** · April 28th, 2008, 09:47 AM

Yeah... in the front with a helmet.

**cmmdee** · April 28th, 2008, 09:50 AM

And she was prob blitzed out of her mind, too.

**Belt Up** · April 28th, 2008, 12:30 PM

Well at least she was actually spending time with the kid.

Most of our motorists in here,wear their helmets as a bracelet and put them on if and when there is a cop in sight..so there.
Kate is seen often with her girl lately,that is good.

**Bijoux** · April 28th, 2008, 03:35 PM

Mother of the fucking year right here...

**happy8** · April 28th, 2008, 03:50 PM

oh geez.. when I was a kid we rode quads & dirt bikes and heaven forbid my banana boat bike WITHOUT helmets and played on playgrounds made of concrete not recycled tire pieces or wood chips..

However, given her track record of drugs... that's a tad scary.

I was wondering the same - did Kate sue some magazine at some point perhaps?

i can attest to the fact that they flip without warning. my freshman year of high school, i'm enjoying new year's day at my friend's ranch riding around on a 4wheeler.... driving in circles and i swear i hit a pebble or some damp grass and the thing flipped over. the handlebars smashed into my helmet wearing head (thank goodness for the helmet) and snapped my arm at the elbow.

i took my driving test with my right arm in a cast at a 90 degree angle! not fun.
