Tips by Paul Dansker for Safe Driving With Animals Driving with our pets is often a necessity. Vet appointments are rarely within walking distance and it can be difficult to go on a long trip without your animal. Unfortunately, taking an animal out on the open road poses certain dangers. If you are planning to drive with an animal in your car, it is important to know how to prevent your pets from becoming a distraction. One in three people who drive with their dogs, cats, or animals in the car fail to restrain them properly. Animals that roam free in the car will likely cause the driver to take their eyes off the road at some point. This is particularly true of animals that have been untrained. Dogs love hanging their heads out of the window and unfortunately this action can easily turn into trying to jump out of the car. A dog may cause the driver to take hands off the wheel and potentially cause a serious accident. Small pets on the lap also pose a threat. Limited space for the driver does not allow them to respond quickly. It also puts the animal at danger if an airbag is deployed. Knowledge of these potential dangers should spark an interest in how to avoid the distraction. The foremost step to keeping you, your animal, and all those around you safe is to restrain the pet. There are safety belts designed for small dog and cat carriers. Keeping an animal in a crate will also help. Another product that has been particularly useful is a mesh curtain. These allow you to see the animal put prevents them from roaming around in a vehicle.
