Is it just me or are people who drive with their pets on their laps or in the front seat basically playing a game of vehicular roulette? I mean, whats the logic behind prioritizing your furry friends comfort over the safety of everyone on the road, including themselves? Should we just accept that a certain percentage of drivers are willing to risk their lives (and ours) for the sake of convenience or companionship? Or is there a more effective way to address this phenomenon, like stricter laws or public awareness campaigns? Are there any cyclists out there whove had close calls with pet-occupied vehicles, and if so, how did you handle the situation?
