UK dog owners may face £5k fines for pets hanging out of car windows, as per Rule 57 of the Highway Code.

UK dog owners could face £5k fines this summer if their pets hang out of car windows, as per Rule 57 of the Highway Code. Pets must be properly restrained in the car, with failure to do so potentially leading to fines, license points, and invalidated insurance if they contribute to a road accident. Using restraints like harnesses, crates, or dog guards can prevent accidents and fines.
