To Ride or Not To Ride a Motorcycle With A Pit Bull On Your Lap
Riding a motorcycle comes with it’s own risks. But, I think we can all agree that riding a motorcycle with a pit bull on your lap and drugs on your person could be dangerous.
A man in Lancaster, Pennsylvania was arrested for multiple charges according to reports from FOX34. The man is named Devin Yake, and he was reportedly committing a number of traffic violations while driving through the streets of Lancaster.
Upon arrest, authorities believed he was intoxicated and found out he had warrants for his arrest that were active according to FOX34. Not only did he have a pit bull on his lap, but he was carrying meth, marijuana and vessels to indulge in those substances.
The dog was unharmed in the incident, and reports from FOX34 say that the pit bull was very friendly. It was eventually retained to a responsible party after taking a ride in the police car.
Tips For Riding Motorcycle With Your Dog
It isn’t illegal in most states to have your dog on a motorcycle while driving. And the people at KUHL have put together a comprehensive list for those of you that do this sort of thing. So, we’ve established it isn’t illegal, but most states say that you need to have the dog secured in a carrier or seat…not on your lap. Make sure to have snacks, keep the animal warm, and plenty of water they say in order to provide the best trip for your co-pilot.
There are benefits to riding with your companion but as you’d expect, risks. Make sure your dog is the right size, in good health and has the personality for the cruise.
At the end of the day, swerving and being intoxicated while riding your motorcycle is definitely not legal in any states and could seriously put you, other people and your dog at risk.
