That cute โdog in the driverโs seatโ moment might make a great photo but on real journeys, the UK law is crystal clear: dogs must be safely restrained in the car.
Under the Highway Code (Rule 57), pets should be secured so they canโt distract the driver or injure themselves or you in an emergency stop.
So whatโs safest?

Keeps your dog contained and away from impact zones.

One of the safest options for both dog and driver, especially for longer trips.

Clip it to a harness (๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ) to avoid neck injuries.
Unrestrained pets can become dangerous projectiles in a collision even at low speeds. Securing your dog protects everyone in the car.
