Dog drives car

A Chinese couple received a police caution for trying to teach their dog to drive.

Traffic police at Liunan spotted a car driving too slowly on a local expressway, reports Nanguo Morning Post.

As they pulled in behind the car, officers were amazed to see a dog with its front legs on the steering wheel.

The dog's rear legs were resting on the woman driver who was controlling the foot pedals.

"We immediately signaled the car to pull over," said one of the patrolling officers.

The woman says she and her boyfriend came up with the idea of teaching their pet dog, Niu Niu, to drive after noticing the expressway was nearly empty and the weather was good.

Police gave them a warning ticket and asked them to take a more responsible attitude when driving on the expressway.

I don't see the problem here. The dog wasn't speeding and probably didn't "drink and drive" either. He certainly wouldn't be giving any one finger salutes!

The license, reyn. He would have failed the written part of the test.

Well, you never know, he might just pass!

As a matter of fact, that's the title of a follow-up article: Dog passes written car test!

I think it should sell well.

Lap belts only -- shoulder belts are no good when you're under 3 feet tall. 'Course that begs the question of air bags.

I believe dogs are exempt from wearing seat belts, but officially, they are supposed to be using the booster seats.


Nice pic of the cat driver, by the way. Laughing
