i dunno about grounds for public execution...but it's a possibility that'll be the outcome when pookie jumps up and starts licking ethel's face...
 

there's a lady in town that drives around with a large dog (labrador sized) dog on her lap hanging out the drivers window

she should be shot

When we have a pet in the car with us, it stays in the backseat or passenger side. Never with the driver. If on the floorboard and it gets in the drivers way, how could you brake? You'd have to stop your dog pretty hard.

When I drove with my cat around, she would always just curl up in my lap or cling to the rear seats, really well behaved.

On your lap - no.
In the passenger seat - maybe.

I believe it's illegal. If it slipped down onto the pedals...

Just had an accident on the toll road here last week when a truck ended up on its side because the trucker's cat jumped on the window.

Not to mention even if the pet doesn't cause the accident, it could be killed/hurt/freak out and run away in the event of one. I don't see how an hour on your lap in the car is worth potentially losing your pet forever.
