This mother has some lessons to learn about road safety - as she leaves her baby sitting in the traffic.
The shocking video was shot in a Russian city, from a camera mounted on a vehicle's dashboard.
The clip shows a bus moving slowly past a pedestrian crossingwhile changing lanes.
And as the bus swings out to the right, it is clear that the driver has moved to avoid a child in a pushchair.
Horrifyingly, the baby's mother has left the buggy around three (3) ft into the road, right in the path of the traffic.
It is only as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) attempts to squeeze through the same space that the woman pulls the pushchair back.
As cars speed past, she gradually moves her child back onto the pavement, out of harm's way.
Shockingly, while a few other pedestrian shoot the woman an odd look, none of them seem upset by her placing her child in such a dangerous situation.

Musician, 75, in love with 55yr old politician
A seventy-five (75) year old musician, Lin Rong-de has written hundreds of love letters and poems to a Taiwan politician he admires.
He has expressed his love for the former vice premier Tsai Ing-wen, 55, in the about two hundred (200) letters he wrote over the past two (2) years.
He has also written dozens of his love poems for Tsai and gathered them in a book - A poetry collection for Xiao Ying - specially dedicated to the single woman, a millionaire with a law degree.
"She is so elegant and refined," said the septuagenarian, adding that he was attracted to Tsai because of her interactive skills and personality.
However, Lin has yet to pass his letters to the chairperson of the Democratic Progressive Party, saying he would do so when Tsai visits Tainan, where he is currently living.
When asked for her comment, Tsai thanked Lin for his support and said, "Hope to see (you) in Tainan."
Tsai is currently running against President Ma Ying-jeou of the ruling Kuomintang in the fifth (5th) presidential election in 2012.
She has set the record by becoming the first female presidential candidate in the history of Taiwan.

An Escaped Cow visits McD's drive-thru
Guess what would a dairy cow order upon arriving at the drive-thru window at McDonalds? Nothing - she just wanted a little attention.
That's what Sandy Winn says was the reason her cow, Darcy, wandered from her pen Friday and ended up at takeout window of the fast-food restaurant a half-mile away in Brush, Colorado.
Winn told KUSA-TV that Darcy is good cow until she's bored - and then she goes looking for attention.
Winn said that she did not know Darcy escaped her pen until police called asking if the family owned a dairy cow and informed her that it was "up at McDonalds".
Winn then fetched the cow and took her home.
Brush police clerk Vivian Llewellyn joked Tuesday that Darcy "didn't get her burger." - AP
