For example, if you put pets on your lap while driving, you expose yourself and this beautiful animal to great dangers for several reasons, including the following:
– Pets are creatures that do not live up to the level of human intelligence and therefore do not understand the meaning of responsibility in leadership.

– The road will not be safe in many cases and you may have to trample the brakes abruptly, and this may cause great injuries to these beautiful animals, and possibly hit you.
The results are as follows:
– If the animal suddenly leaps to the ground, it may be trapped behind the brake if the animal is small, such as small cats and dogs. This can seriously affect the driver’s ability to stop the car without endangering the life of the animal under the foot.
– If the airbag is suddenly opened, it may hurt the animal sitting on your lap while driving a lot of damage.
The appropriate solution:
– Put your pets in cages while traveling in the car if these animals are small in size such as dogs, cats and small rabbits.
