Driving with Pets
There are seemingly few things that a dog enjoys more than thrusting its head out of the window of a moving car and letting its tongue roll out in the wind. And there are few things that dog owners like more than a nice drive with the pooch in the passenger seat as a companion. Unfortunately, pets can be serious hazards when it comes to driving, and as much as you may be tempted to let Fido sit next to you shot gun, you should avoid it at all costs.
Being a good pet owner and a good driver are not mutually exclusive. The safety of your pets as well as yourself and others on the road is in your hands when an animal is in the car. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in a car accident involving a distracted driver, contact the Waco car accident attorneys of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. at 877-948-4842 to discuss your legal options.
Potential Pet Dangers
A loose pet in the car can immediately become a deadly driving hazard. Some things that can go wrong with a loose pet in a car include:
- Scared cats scratching at the driver
- Dogs leaping into a drivers lap
- Small dogs jumping onto the driver’s side floor board
Pets should be kept in carriers safely fastened in the backseat of the car at all times.
