Amend the Road Traffic Act 1988 to include cats as an Animal in section 170.
Proposal for amendment to Section 170 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, subsection (1)(a)(ii) to include cats to the definition of the term “animal” in subsection 8. This will make it a legal requirement for the driver to persue the critical steps to reporting damage/death to an animal including cats.
Law as it stands can be found here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/52/section/170
By amending Section 170, Subsection (8) to include cats, this will fulfil the request of this petition.
