A three-year-old has been caught on camera blissfully navigating his toy motorcycle through rush-hour traffic in China.

Miraculously, he escaped injury despite buses and car flying past him in the busy intersection. A police officer finally managed to whisk the young boy to safety. Disaster averted.
