Gee, I didn't even know there were 'pet restraints' for cars. (Trying to figure out how to break it 'rover'.)

[ElkGroveDan]

How many months in jail if I gave him a Slurpee and was smoking?

[Ezekiel]

[MulberryDraw]

I think these seat belt laws should be repealed. They’re starting to get just plain irritating.

[SCalGal]

They tried to do this in CA. We made them kill it.

[Pollster1]

That depends on whether the Slurpee is over or under 16 ounces. The Nanny State is doing just find in the 21st century, isn’t it?

[coloradan]

Simply being in NJ can bring big fines. NJ: Come for the fines, stay for the taxes.

I guess this shows the relative value of human versus pet/animals lives to the NJ government, $46 versus $250 to $1000.

I’d really like to see every state outlaw dogs riding in the bed of pickups. My brother-in-law lost a dog yrs ago when he had an accident and his dog was thrown from the truck.
It makes me mad whenever I see it.

More facism from the facist state of NJ

someone tell me if Cristie signed this cowflop into law.

[Jumpmaster]

Millions of dogs ride in millions of truck beds every day, without a problem. It should be illegal because you know of ONE death?

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Note to self:

Never (ever) visit New Jersey.

I don’t know about restraints for pets, but I think its crazy and dangerous to be holding your dog in you lap while driving....its worse than using a cell phone and as bad as texting while driving....how can you really focused on traffic while your pooch is squirming in your lap?

We have a little bed that attaches to the seatbelt, and then a strap that attaches to our dog’s harness. We don’t want anything to happen to our precious little corgi!

[saganite]

Dogs around here ride in the bed of pickups with their heads over the side and their tongues trailing in the breeze. They look like they’re livin’ the dream.

[Freestate316]

I’ll bet more illegals than dogs ride in the back of pickup trucks every day.

[IMR 4350]

I'd like to see every state require do-gooders stuff a sock in it.

[nuconvert]

Yeah. It’s the ONLY death or injury on record.

[Freestate316]

We used to live in New Jersey.We wanted to experience real freedom, so we moved to Maryland!

[OldPossum]

Never (ever) visit New Jersey.

So far, so good.
