Driver Handbooks should warn drivers of the dangers of leaving animals in parked cars

Driver Handbooks should warn drivers of the dangers of leaving animals in parked cars

The Issue

State-produced Driver Handbooks for new drivers cover the rules of the road quite thoroughly, but they neglect to mention the life-threatening dangers of leaving pets inside a locked, parked car in warm weather for even a few minutes. Urge your representatives to get information about this deadly habit into your state's driver education materials.
