Now, let's throw another monkey into the wrench.

Ive always wondered why, given all the hysteria surrounding the use of cell phones while driving, the same kind of attention isnt paid to folks who drive with their pets in their car? Im talking specifically about those who let their dog or cat roam freely about the automobile cabin while they're trying to drive. ESPECIALLY the ones who actually let the animal sit on their lap while they're driving.

I suspect I know the answer but let's hear your thoughts!
