A man from England decided to take laziness to another level. Paul Railton got his driver's license suspended for 6 months after he walked his dog while driving his car. He got 3 demerit points on top of 6 that he previously had, so his 9 points led to the suspension of his driver's license. He was driving at 5 mph on a quiet street but despite his excuse, he was deemed not to have had proper control of the vehicle as he was walking his dog next to his car. We thought that texting and driving was a bad enough idea, but this guy took irresponsibility to a whole new level. We hope that this will teach some common sense others who may have thought of trying such a thing.

Having a dog walk next to your car is not only dangerous for your dog, but also to other drivers sharing the same road as you. If you are so lazy that you cannot and do not want to walk your dog, then do not get a dog, period.

Walking your dog should be a fun activity that is good for both your dog's health and your health, and not something that is done just because your dog must walk. In addition, walking your dog can eliminate many problems your dog may have including obesity, boredom, and bad behavior. Walking your dog twice a day for 30 min to 1 hour will make your dog a lot calmer and happier when you come back home as he will be able to drain some of that excess energy and socialize with other dogs and people.
