Can someone explain to me why it’s illegal to drive with a cell phone but perfectly okay to drive with your dog sitting in your lap? I just got back to the office after watching a lady almost hit someone at a crosswalk because she was driving with 2 small dogs on her lap and was completely distracted. Then, she couldn’t even turn into the parking lot properly because it’s damn hard to turn a steering wheel with 2 DOGS IN YOUR LAP! Idiot! Use your head, don’t you realize what would happen if you ever rear ended anyone? Your precious dog would be crushed between you and the wheel! Put the dog in the backseat where it’s safest for everyone, including them! —Confused

I’ll tell you one thing…. if you’re going to ban driving while using a cell phone AND driving whilst having to deal with yappy, jumpy puppies all up in your business you should DEFINITELY ban driving while receiving a blow job. I mean, what is more distracting than this? Not to mention once you reach the heavenly result you don’t know which fucking universe you are in, let alone which lane!!!
To be clear, by the way, I am with the OP on this… 😛
somebody has been reading james herriot…i agree op
How about a general distraction law.
If you’re drivng and the cop thinks that you’re not paying enough/proper attenion to the road, for whateve reason – ticket!!!
Driving would improve quickly.
I would also suggest it be mandatory to have a harness for animals in cars. Even if they are in the back seat, untethered, in an accident they are also a projectile. I know someone could do the math on a 50 lb. dog in a car moving 60 kph that runs into another car either stationary or also moving at 60 kph. I can’t but I’m sure someone can.
I believe this and support it all the way as my father was rear ended with my 6 yr old in the vehicle and she was patting her puppy and didnt stop and demolished my fathers van..then the nerve she had after my father got angry she jumped out and said I dont know what your problem is ha some people should not have license at all
stationary, I get just over 3207 joules…
effectively turning fido into a 50 lb, significantly large sledgehammer.
hitting a car going 60 towards you effectively raises poochy to canonball satus at point blank with over 12 500 joules to release.
See, I knew I could count on you Z3! Put a seatbelt on your puppies people!
Now, Z3: show your work! ;D

There should be laws for cab drivers to wear seatbelts as well – there was an accident in Ontario where a cab driver killed one of his seat belted passengers because he was thrown around the car.
I agree – seatbelts or cages for dogs. Even though I have taken many trips with my Golden in the back seat sleeping…she wasn’t a distraction – but I never thought about her crushing me or being thrown in an accident.
people who do this o.p., should have their ass kicked. not only dangerous to them and you, but doggy will get seriously hurt too, if wheel gets them in side or front, depending on how they are seated. call cops, give plate number, and if with a camera on you, snap a pic or 50, for the cops, and darwin awards.
I was out the other day, and encountered a man driving while his little yapper was standing on all fours on the fucking dashboard!!
@ DJ Ivan…. Isn’t a parsec a measure of distance ?
I could be wrong ,I’ve made a mistake before, it was a long time ago & I thought I was wrong, so I said so …turned out I was right, but by then it was too late ~;)
Yes Ivan, I heard that he did, but then he dumped his cargo at the first sign of an Imperial Cruiser… I heard his excuse was something like: ‘Even I get boarded sometimes.’
Hee Hee Hee >; )
They might learn after an accident, when Fifi’s guts and brains are all over the place. And they say they love their pets.
It’s true, I heard it at the Cantina– the sax player told me.
It’s only a matter of time before Fifi and Fido just down between the driver’s legs, panic, and get stuck on/under the gas pedal. Then that’ll be the end of them and their owner, and thus safer roads.
So, what have we learned from this bitch?
A) Tether or crate you animals in the car, lest they become cannonballs
B) Suck it up and try to outrun the Imperial Cruiser
C) For the love of God, don’t name your dog Tricky-Woo
D) Sebastian’s on the rag again
Agreed, OP. It’s irresponsible towards the dog, not to mention the dangers one risks in having a scared and frightened projectile with teeth go flying close to ones’ head .
Ai) don’t forget to tether said crate up either or it’s going to be an effective cheese grater that you get to pass through.
