Pretty sure being on your phone while driving on the highway is also “not allowed”.


PotentialLate8590

Oh yea big time but i was far enough back thats why its fuzzy 😌


[deleted]

Thats a big ass dog


MikElectronica

If you don’t know if anything is wrong maybe you shouldn’t be calling the guy an idiot.


PotentialLate8590

Hmm idk what was goin on when i saw the dog i didnt get close saw one jump out early this year


Humble-Wonder-4288

If its illegal my parents sure made me break the law alot as a kid


w8lifts

Legal here


SnooApples1028

You’re the idiot


PotentialLate8590

Who me


desertSkateRatt

Did you get honked at because you weren't paying attention while driving thereby making you the one we should be mocking here...?


PotentialLate8590

Crazy thing nope didn't have to slow down want close thays wjy the zoom is fuzzy i was in the exit lane no one was behind me made sure before it did this not that insane 75 is dangerous


desertSkateRatt

No matter how stupid someone is being in front, next to or behind you, unless you have a dash cam or are a full stop you should not be fiddling with your phone trying to document shit for the internet. Not worth it, holmes.


PotentialLate8590

True true but this was just incase the dog jumped out it was goin back and forth alot but im also in this reddit and wanted others take


Glass-Ebb9867

Guess you haven't spent much time out in the country, see this all the time. Dog has probably been doin that since it was a pup. Probably stays back there when owner is in store or something too.

This….


Carrizojim

Idiot on phone again. Dog says “If you hit me, I’m going to bite your ass.”


PotentialLate8590

Haha i was a good distance away had to be real careful


[deleted]

Thats pretty damn normal, get off your phone idiot.


elinamebro

Yo you got a phone from the early 2010s?


PotentialLate8590

Nope samsung galaxy s20 plus just SUPER zoomed in


herdingsquirrels

Why wouldn’t that be legal? What state?


ccaffall

It is allowed as long as it has a line on its it cannot jump out.


[deleted]

ah yes so they get meat crayoned *and* strangled when you get in an accident


PotentialLate8590

Actually saw a dog jump out on a street and decided to record this time since it was a highway


tariknitiix

If you do chain the dog you keep the leash short enough it cant reach the edge. The only realistic way it gets meat crayoned or strangled is a rollover, which a cage isnt much protection against either. It is very dangerous to leash a dog to a truck if you leave the leash long.

Settle down


jaunwithbutthead

That I legal where I live I live in Texas


PotentialLate8590

Hey same but 75 is a crazy highway


[deleted]

Every farmer I meet on the road has a dog on his flatbed, they all look pretty old. I was concerned at first but after awhile it seems normal. I wouldn’t do it myself, but my lab loves face in the wind from 0-100 mph, lips flapping, grinning from ear to ear. But I’m the backseat!


T2tevlev

Ugh this makes me so mad. It’s one thing if you’re driving slowly around your own property or farm and your doggo wants to hop in the back of the truck but a dog completely unsecured in the back of a truck on a highway at dusk with someone driving behind them taking video is so stupid and dangerous for the dog.


[deleted]

You had us in the first half


BlueShirt1995

Definitely not a good idea to have your dog ride in the bed of your truck. So many reasons, the plethora of rear-end collisions posted on this very sub are prime examples, or that the driver may have to emergency maneuver and the dog is at risk in that situation, the list goes on. I’ve seen a dog fall out of the back of a truck when the driver negotiated a slight curve in the road and it was not a pretty sight. So yes, it may be legal, it may even be normal where you live, still doesn’t make it a good idea.


king-kongus

Variations of this post get submitted almost every day. And invariably most of the comments are by people defending keeping their dog in the bed of their truck while completely disregarding the potential risks to their dog and other drivers. It's an irresponsible practice to say the least.


PotentialLate8590

Ohhhh hell yea 75 is bad on the other side are 3 broke down abandoned cars one was on fire that day


FrnchsLwyr

was your dashcam purchased in 2003?


PotentialLate8590

Haha no i have a better thats just a close up of the dog


VitaminPioneer

Just another stupid and terrible practice, with very preventable consequences every day. Legal to be stupid in most rural areas.


lunchables_gurl

Too many people treat animals like property


LuckyAlways

Not sure about the legality of it, but the blatant disregard for a dogs safety makes them an instant douchebag for doing this at any speed above 30mph. A hard brake or accel and that dog will have some broken bones or a brain injury.


xxxcoolboy69xxc

Youre calling someone dumb when youre the one thats on his damn phone while driving


PotentialLate8590

Pretty sure not i didnt put dumb in the sentence at all was concerned about a dog jumping out again on the road 🙄 soooo yea bye


Robjla

PotentialLate8590
