Am I allowed to drive with my animal unrestrained?

- It is also an offence to drive while you have a dog sitting on your lap or to ride a motorbike with an animal sitting between the rider and the handlebars.
- You will need to check the relevant legislation in your state or territory as the rules are different in each jurisdiction.
