Why is a Defensive Driving Expert Telling Me to
Buckle My Pet?
Great Question!
Unbuckled Pets in the vehicle are a major source of distraction that puts an estimated
25 – 30 Million U. S. families at risk.

The one BIG distraction we uncovered in our research, and that is being
almost TOTALLY ignored?
Unbuckled Pets in the vehicle
There are an estimated 43 Million families in America that include one or more dogs or cats.
and yet, according to surveys conducted by various groups such as AAA and the American Pet Products Manufacturers Assn.,
less than 20% of these families secure their precious pet in the vehicle
This is baffling!
Seatbelt use is over 90% nationwide. With that level of compliance, it’s safe to assume that people do it because it makes sense,
not just because it’s the law.
So why expose your Pet in this way? Aren’t they an important member of the family?
This leaves not only the dog at much greater risk for injury and death but also every other passenger
One unbuckled passenger is a threat to everyone else in the vehicle
If you are involved in a front-end collision, your airbag will activate at speeds as low as 16 MPH
according to the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA)
If you drive with your Pet in your lap and that airbag blows
Your precious pet almost certainly WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED.
If you’re hit from behind, your pet will be catapulted forward, and again, will almost certainly be
injured or killed, and they may injure other passengers in the vehicle as well.
The good news is – there is a simple solution!
