MODESTO, Calif. (AP) - Modesto police are blaming a scratching cat for an accident that toppled a power pole and shut down a street for nearly an hour. A police sergeant said Friday that a woman was driving with a cat in her lap. The animal scratched her, and she drove into the pole.

 

The woman suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital. The cat was taken to a vet to treat an injured eye.

 

On Wednesday, the Assembly Appropriations Committee approved a bill by Assemblyman Bill Maze that would make it illegal to drive with a pet in your arms or in your lap.

Brilliant move......driving with an animal on your lap.......... :angry:

It nigh time any animals riding in a vehicle are required to be in a carrier.

The complete ignorance of our society necessitates a law being written specifically prohibiting riders from having animals in their laps :angry: Honestly, I think lawmakers should spend their time debating the real issues that we elected them to tackle in the first place.
