🚗🐱 Proposed Changes to UK Driving Laws: Should Cats Be Included? 🐱🚗
Hey, fellow motorists! There’s a hot debate igniting the roads of the UK, and it’s all about our feline friends. Currently, UK driving laws mandate that if you hit certain animals—dogs, horses, or even cows—you must report it. But cats? Not included!
Over 10,000 people signed a petition urging the government to require drivers to report and assist injured cats in road accidents. Yet, despite this wave of support, the government has no plans to change the law. They argue that cats, being smaller and more elusive, might not be noticeable to drivers, particularly those in larger vehicles. 🤔
However, experts at Auto Express are challenging this notion. They claim it’s no excuse, highlighting that many dog breeds are similar in size to cats yet are protected by law. According to Auto Express, reporting cat collisions should be standard practice for any conscientious driver.
So, what can you do if you accidentally hit a cat? Auto Express suggests checking with locals to find the owner or contacting the police or a vet to ensure the cat receives attention. While it might not be legally required, it’s undoubtedly the right thing to do!
Let’s spark a conversation: Do you think cats should have the same legal protections on the road as dogs? Share your thoughts in the comments! 🗨️👇
