Jerusalem authorities have detained a man who allowed his dog to drive his automobile around the street of the city.
The 35-year-old resident of the Arab town of Ein Naqquba, west of the Israeli city, is expected to be charged with reckless driving after the incident.
On Monday, September 5, a video, showing the dog on the steering of the car, went viral on Israeli WhatsApp groups, getting the attention of the Israel’s Central Traffic Unit.
As a result of this, the police began searching for the dog’s owner and tracked him down.
The police said in the statement, “The suspect behaved in a reckless and improper manner when he let his dog hold onto the steering wheel, thereby endangering road users.
“He then went on to share footage of the dangerous act which reached the police. Whoever does such things is playing with human lives. We will continue to work to enforce and prosecute serious traffic violations.”
