Answer 1

i know your not supposed to have any animal roaming the car while your driving here in the US, but people do it anyways

Answer 2

No, but it should be. I've seen quite a few people driving with the dog on their lap! How barmy is that?

Answer 3

Probably. This lot have made just about everything else illegal.

any dog traverling in a car in the uk has to be "restrained" either behind bars in the boot or back seat or wear a harness fixed to a seat belt so the answer is yes

Answer 5

so far as i know in UK everything is either illegal or requires a high cost permit.

Its not illegal per say,    however you could  still be arrested for either driving without due care and attention, or a similar offence.
