Everyone knows it is illegal to talk or text on a mobile phone while driving or cycling. This morning I drove past a boy, estimate early-teens, skateboarding along a narrow pavement beside a busy road, leading a large dog in his left hand and talking on a mobile in his right. Suppose he had lost control and fallen into path of traffic while thus distracted.

Serious question, perhaps of interest to some of lawyers among us ~~ Was he breaking any law?
