From the Associated Press-This is a good idea. Little Franklin tries to ride in my lap while I'm driving, but I quelled him of that bad habit. Not only is it a distraction, but having a dog in your lap can prevent you from turning the wheel quickly to avoid a collision, AND the dog could go flying through the windshield. It's best to buckle your dogs in if possible, or keep them in the passenger or back seat, where you can grab their collars if needed! - Rob (RIGHT- a dog that wants to drive!)Drivers with pets in their laps could land in legal dog house
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Pull over and put down the dog.
A California lawmaker wants to ban motorists from holding pets on their laps while driving and getting caught can net a $35 fine. The bill passed the Assembly on a 44-11 vote on Monday, and heads to the Senate.
Assemblyman Bill Maze says his legislation has nothing to do with pet-loving celebrities who are photographed driving around Los Angeles with their small dogs.
Maze says he introduced the bill after seeing a woman driving with three dogs on her lap. He says pets are a distraction that put motorists and their passengers at risk.
