Australia: Animals Must Be Inside Moving Vehicles
In Australia, it’s a legal requirement that animals must be inside the vehicle if it’s in motion. This means that pets cannot be transported in open areas of the vehicle, like the back of a pickup truck, unless they are securely restrained. This law is in place to protect animals from injury and to prevent them from being a distraction to the driver. Violating this law can result in fines and charges related to animal welfare and safety.
