This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Rule 57 of the Highway Code already says that:

"When in a vehicle make sure dogs or other animals are suitably restrained so they cannot distract you while you are driving or injure you, or themselves, if you stop quickly. A seat belt harness, pet carrier, dog cage or dog guard are ways of restraining animals in cars."

We are therefore not sure what additional action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.
