While disobeying the Highway Code doesn't carry a direct penalty, drivers could be fined up to £1,000 for driving without proper control if their pet distracts them.

Tim Alcock from LeaseCar.uk said: 'We all love seeing our dogs enjoying the summer breeze with their heads hanging out the car window, but it actually poses some serious risks.'
