SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Pull over and put down the dog.
A California lawmaker wants to ban motorists from holding pets
on their laps while driving. Getting caught can net a $35 fine. The
bill passed the California Assembly on a 44-11 vote on Monday, and
heads to the Senate.
Assemblyman Bill Maze says his legislation has nothing to do
with pet-loving celebrities who are photographed driving around Los
Angeles with their small dogs.
Maze says he introduced the bill after seeing a woman driving
with three dogs on her lap.
He says pets are a distraction that put motorists and their
passengers at risk.
