When you need to get from A to B at short notice, you may let your dog travel with you in the car, sitting in the front seat without any restraint. But did you know that could actually land you a hefty fine?
Motorists are being warned to take the appropriate precautions when they're travelling with dogs in order to avoid accidents and loss of money.
Experts from Quotezone.co.uk have highlighted the importance of making sure pooches are suitably restrained whilst they drive to their destination. If you fail to do this, you can face a fine of up to £5,000 - and nine penalty points on your license, which is less than ideal.
