LONDON - An English dog-owner was fined and barred from driving for six months after taking his pet for a stroll while sitting behind the wheel of his car.

Prosecutors said Paul Railton was spotted by a cyclist driving slowly along a country lane in December, holding his dog's leash through the car window as the animal trotted alongside.

Lazy though it may be, I don't understand how someone was charged for that.

 

[Kitty Sinatra]

He's charged for the same reason we now are for talking on a phone, or as the article said, "not being in proper control of a vehicle"

And he got a 66 pound fine, and some demerit points on his license.

Also lazy: the committee/person who chose/designed the Libyan flag

God damn it's about time someone took Libya down a peg.

A 66 pound fine? Jesus! How heavy WAS that little piece of paper?

It ended up being spelled out on 2 boxes of tractor paper.

ZING!

Also, I see people biking with their dogs all the time. That strikes me as very odd. What happens when the dog trips or the leash gets tangled?

You no longer have to spend money on a dog, that's what...
