What's the law for travelling with dogs in a car or motorhome?
I travel with dogs a lot - in my car and in my motorhome. Could you tell me what the laws are for these journeys?

Rule 57 of the Highway Code states: "When in a vehicle make sure dogs or other animals are suitably restrained so they cannot distract you while you are driving or injure you, or themselves, if you stop quickly. A seat belt harness, pet carrier, dog cage or dog guard are ways of restraining animals in cars."
