Dog photographed travelling on vehicle driver's lap

An investigation is under way after a driver was spotted with a dog resting on their lap while their vehicle was moving.

The image was taken by a Devon and Cornwall Police camera on the A39 at Penryn.

A spokesperson for the Vision Zero South West road safety partnership said the Road Traffic Act required drivers to always be in "proper control of the vehicle and have a clear view of the road ahead".

It added that the registered vehicle keeper was to be sent a Notice of Intended Prosecution to compel them to identify the driver.
