A mother was caught holding her child while driving in eastern China.

The video was filmed in Linyi City in Shandong Province on September 12.

Eyewitness, Mr Zhang, revealed that he observed the woman for around two to three minutes. Throughout this duration, she continually juggled between entertaining her child and keeping her focus on driving.

While the woman's car was not moving at high speeds, the behaviour still posed significant safety concerns. Zhang expressed his worry, stating, "Even if she was driving slowly, this behaviour is extremely unsafe. If the child made any sudden movement or distraction, it could easily lead to an accident."

9月12日，山东临沂，一位女子抱娃开车，行驶中目光脱离前方视线，时不时地与娃面对面亲切互动。目击者张先介绍，他关注了该女子大约有两三分钟，女子一直边逗孩子边开车，虽然车速不快，但这样很不安全，万一孩子有个剧烈运动什么的，也很容易酿成事故。
