dog in the car
Anybody give me the law on your dog being in the car.
My little dog likes to look out the front window and then when he gets fed up he sits down for a minute or so then he jumped into the back where he is contented. My sister tells me I will get into trouble with the police because he unretrained and I will get points of my licence. Can anybody tell me the right way of it

I must admit on occasions I have travelled with my little dog on the front seat, but for her own safety, and everybody else's in the car, she is usually in the back of my hatchback behind a dog grate.
Little dogs can be catapulted very easily in even a minor collision.

Me again, sorry. I just found this as you actually got me thinking about the legal aspects of it:

Hi, I have just read this on Pet Planet.

There should be a law to prevent dogs from travelling unrestrained. My neighbour regularly takes her three (yes three!) dogs in the car with her. They just jump about all over the place and if the smaller of the three gets scared she goes under the driver's feet! In my eyes it's an accident waiting to happen! I've tried to tell her, but I may as well bang my head against a brick wall.

If you were involved in an accident and you had an unrestrained dog in the car the following things will happen:
1. The dog will get hurt, possibly fatally hurt
2. The dog becomes an unguided missile travelling at the same speed the car was when the accident happened thus hurting, (again possibly fatally hurting) someone else
Please for common sense sake, if you insist on travelling with a dog keep it in the back of your car, and restrained
