Miss BeRidgierent Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I have heard there are curtain requirements but I can't find any where that tells me? I think you need a 5 point harness for dogs traveling on the back of utes. I need to find a good one, anyone know where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeckoTree Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Not in qld, the only requirements is not on laps or on a motorcycle tank. Question: How should I carry my animal in my vehicle? So long as the animal is not in your lap (or sitting on the petrol tank of your motorcycle) and not affecting your control of the vehicle, there are no rules prohibiting how you should carry your animal. It is advised however, that you securely restrain your animal using either a restraint or house the animal in a suitable cage or container. From road rules qld transport Q&A http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/resources/...anda_290909.pdf The harness sounds a great idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm imagining trying to go to the beach with the dogs all sitting on my motorbike's petrol tank.. Going around the roundabouts would be fun, and past the duckies!

GeckoTree Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I saw a guy on a motorcycle with a golden retriever riding in a side cart complete with doggles and a little helmet on! Looked so funny! But really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really good. I would Tottally do that! My aussie bitch wears doggles in the ute, If I had a small dog i could possibly have a small sturdy motorbike bag attached to the 2nd seat and have her there, but i doubt it. Did you get a photo! There's a lady around town who keeps her pug in her motoribke jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundyburger Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 We have harnesses for our two boys. OH told me in vic they have to be a certain age before we can pop Bundy in the back of the ute to start learning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake-K9 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) My next pup is definitely getting taught to ride pillion with me! I think it would be nigh on impossible to get the malinut to stay put, there is just too much shit he wants to chase, we wouldn't make it up the street lol oops - edit to add: I really think as far as utes go you are better off with a crate - if you want them to be able to stick their heads in the breeze get a nice big wire one... I have seen a harnessed dog get ropes all tangled up causing the clip holding them to come undone, dog went out the back at 100kph, was very very lucky to get away with gravel rash and a lot of bruising!

GeckoTree Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) I think Ruff wear makes a good sturdy 5 point harness. They are about $80 or something like that. I agree with the cage, I still dont have one built. Edited April 7, 2010 by GeckoTree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Don't know the rules but there should be some. I had the horrifying experience of driving down the very busy Main North Rd here in SA last Thursday. The scruffy white ute next to me in all the traffic had 2 Kelpies loose in the back. One of them was going ballistic. Barking & running from side to side like a lunatic, almost falling over the side. Heavy traffic. So lunatic driving, yes I have your number plate, be thankful that the police station near there was shut when I pulled in to complain. If there aren't any laws there should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
