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.'
