Question 5209

Is the driver of this vehicle required to keep the animal being transported properly positioned?

  1. No, the driver is not required to.
  2. Yes, the animal must be positioned correctly at all times.
  3. Yes, although the driver is not required to once the vehicle is underway.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, the animal must be positioned correctly at all times.

You must make sure the animals you carry stay properly positioned throughout the trip, including while the car is moving. A dog that can reach you or the controls restricts your freedom of movement and distracts you, and it can be thrown forward when you brake. In the image, the dog is in the trunk, behind a barrier that prevents it from reaching the seats.
