Scratching Cat In Lap Blamed For Causing Accident

[Miranda]

MODESTO, Calif. - Modesto police are blaming a scratching cat for an accident that toppled a power pole and shut down a street for nearly an hour. A police sergeant said Friday that a woman was driving with a cat in her lap. The animal scratched her, and she drove into the pole.

The woman suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital. The cat was taken to a vet to treat an injured eye.

On Wednesday, the Assembly Appropriations Committee approved a bill by Assemblyman Bill Maze that would make it illegal to drive with a pet in your arms or in your lap.

I saw something even more unbelievable about 2 weeks ago. A woman had her small son, probably 2 years old or less in front of her driving in the middle of her lap, going at least 50 m.p.h, on Pontiac Trail and 8 Mile. That woman needs to have her head examined and have the shit fined out of her.

What will they come up with next?
