Should animals wear some sort of seat belt in vehicles?
I have heard about some law concerning this not too long ago, however I haven't heard of it since and I still see drivers with animals in vehicles with no leash or belt. Sometimes even with the animal on their lap while driving.
I'm bringing this up because I recently seen someone upload a picture on Facebook with their friend driving a car, while holding a cat with one of her hands. The title was "Who needs a cat carrier? lol" as to make it seem like it was a good thing. I on the other hand, seen it to be very dangerous. Animals, unlike humans, don't understand the risk of driving a vehicle or something as simple as crawling under the drivers feet can put them off the road.
Not only will tying the animal down allow the driver and the people in the car to be more safe, but also the animal itself. If you got into an accident with a pet aboard, that animal can easily go out the windshield and hurt themselves quite severely.
So, what's your guys thoughts on this? Do you drive with animals aboard? Do you see it as harmless or an accident waiting to happen? Personally, I think this is even worse than talking on a cell phone while driving and possibly as bad as texting while driving.
There is a law that requires animals to be secured by a leash inside the vehicle to prevent the animal from jumping out.
Most people simply ignore the law.........until a peace officer decides to enforce it.
