Dog Transported on Motorcycle in Brazil Highlights Traffic Law Violations A recent video circulating on social media shows a small dog being carried on the back of a woman riding pillion on a motorcycle in Cariacica, Espírito Santo, Brazil. The dog is secured with a chest harness. This practice is a clear violation of Brazilian traffic laws, which prohibit transporting animals externally on vehicles. The video, filmed in April, has sparked discussion about animal welfare and traffic regulations. "The way the dog is being transported is incredibly dangerous," commented a local animal welfare advocate. "The animal could easily be injured or fall off." The violation carries a significant fine and penalty points on the driver's license. The G1 news report emphasizes the potential dangers of such practices and the associated fines.
