Don't know if it's legal, but it's definitely stupid, unless the dog is secured to the bed of the truck somehow. I don't care how well trained your pooch may be, etc., but what if it decides to go after another dog on the street, or you have to stop suddenly, or someone slams into the side of your truck? Over the side goes Fluffy. It's about as smart as people who drive with little Cuddles in their arms, instead of having two hands on the wheel, and Spot in the back seat, behind one of those metal grills. Distractions such as these, coupled with cell phones, are unnecessary, avoidable, and accident risks.

Yes, but can be unsafe for the dog, depending on restraint system. There is no law in Virginia which requires a dog to wear a seat belt or be contained in a crate during transportation. However, Virginia's dog laws require that owners provide adequate care for companion animals during transportation. The Virginia DMV website list unrestrained pets as a distraction and recommends all pets be secured while driving and recommends seat belt harnesses, dog car seats, and pet crates as options.

Is it legal to ride in the back of a truck during a parade in GA?
First, it is NEVER a good idea to have a person ride in any vehicle without being restrained (wearing seat belts) It IS legal for a person to ride in the cargo area of a pick up truck IF they are sitting on the cargo bed, not the sides or wheel humps AND the cargo gate (tailgate) is closed AND: -The person is 18 years old or over -The person is any age but the truck cannot be on a major highway at speed. -The person is any age but the cargo area is covered by a fitted and secured truck cap. Basically some one under 18 cannot ride in the bed on the interstate or major highway unless the truck has a truck cap.
Can a person ride in the back of a pick up truck?
There is no Illinois Law at this time which specifically prohibits passengers from riding in the cargo bed of a pickup. However, the seat belt laws do restrict who can ride in the bed. The Child Passenger Safety act requires that children under the age of 16 be fastened in a seat belt or child safety seat, so no one under 16 can ride in the pickup bed. In addition, if the driver of the pickup is under 18, all passengers under age 19 must be in approved seat belts, so unless the truck has factory mounted seats in the bed, no persons under 19 can ride there.Read more: Can_you_ride_in_back_of_truck_in_Illinois
