MOTORISTS travelling with a dog in the vehicle tend to be more cautious and less stressed, a new survey suggests.
Some 54% of 2,000 dog-owning drivers told Seat they drive more carefully when travelling with a pet.
The statistics are heavily weighted towards young drivers – the most likely age group to be involved in a road incident – with 69% of 18 to 24-year-olds saying they’re more cautious when driving with their dog.
Pooches could also reduce road rage, with 35% of drivers saying they feel less stressed behind the wheel with a canine for company.
However, despite the positive aspects of travelling with a pet, over a third didn’t know if any rules governed doing so and a fifth admitted to not restraining their dog in the car.
Not keeping your dog secure not only risks the safety of the animal and other passengers in the event of a collision, the driver could be fined up to £5,000 and receive nine points on their licence for driving without due care and attention.
