Dogs in cars can be a danger both to themselves and their fellow passengers.If you make a sudden emergency stop, or are involved in a crash at just 30mph, a dog who is not restrained in the back seat can turn into a potentially lethal missile, warns the AA...
A small dog such as a West Highland Terrier would be hurled from the back shelf at the head of someone sitting in the front of the car like a canine cannonball. And if your dog is a large breed, such as a Labrador, he could be catapulted through the car with the force of a baby elephant, in all likelihood, injuring all in his way. And in both cases it is unlikely that the dog would survive such a violent impact.
It's an ironic fact that people belt up themselves, and insist that children in the back wear seatbelts or sit in a child seat, yet let their dogs travel unrestrained. Some drivers even let small dogs sit unrestrained in the front passenger seat, or on the passenger's knee, which is very dangerous.
Is it true speed cameras have to be callibrated every day?
Although some dogs sit placidly on the back seat, others jump around, distracting the driver, try to climb through to the front seats (especially if they are alone in the back), or put their heads out of the window. Even a usually placid dog may suddenly become unnerved by something he sees or hears, and panic. And of course, in an emergency stop, a dog would be powerless to help himself. If you get your dog used to travelling when it is young, it will be quite happy to sit in the car as it gets older.
Making a dog wear a special harness is not unkind - most pets will actually feel more secure when they are restrained, either by using a harness, in a travel kennel, or behind a dog guard. The latter is installed across the back of the car and separates the dog from the driver, but is only really suitable for hatchback models. If your dog was crate-trained as a puppy, you can use the crate for transporting your dog as well. Remember, when considering a crate, it needs to be large enough to accomodate your dog when it is fully grown, as well as fitting your car.
I was broad sided by a car and want to know how fast the car was going when it hit me.?
If you are involved in an accident, it is safer for all concerned if your dog is restrained in the car. A dog which is loose could run straight into the traffic and be killed, or even cause another accident. Also, and particularly if it is a large breed such as a German Shepherd, a dog will be frightened and probably aggressive, and could make it difficult for rescue services to reach and rescue you.

WUsing two set of HID light bulb in a car ill damage any electrical component or dry the battery?
Interestingly enough, I don't think there actually is a law prohibiting it, but common sense should tell us that it is potentially extrememely dangerous for both the driver and the dog (not to mention pedestrians and other road users). The dog might be well behaved and you might be a careful driver, but you can never trust who or what you might encounter on any journey, no matter how short or long it is, so to ensure that dogs are safely placed well out of the way of the driver is a blatantly obvious measure to take, regardless of whether or not there's a law against it.I was in a small accident today, is I'm at fault?
