Dogs love to go for rides in the car and we love bring our pets with us
EVERYWHERE these days. In a recent AAA survey, 31% of drivers admitted
to
being distracted at some point by a dog climbing into their lap when
driving. When
you are operating a vehicle, having an unrestrained dog aboard is
dangerous for
a variety of reasons:
-Roaming
pets are distracting to drivers
-Driving
with your dog on your lap is dangerous (duh)
-Dogs in accidents are dangerous
to everyone in the car because they turn into flying projectile in the event of
an accident
-It’s
the Law (kind of) –States like Arizona, Maine, Connecticut and New Jersey issue fines up
to $1,000 if a dog is in the driver’s lap
Verdict:
Yes, our canine friends should be strapped in. But don't take our word
for it, watch this video and decide for yourself: http://abcn.ws/12aXn09
