: An English dog-owner was fined and barred from driving for six
: months after taking his pet for a stroll while sitting behind
: the wheel of his car. Prosecutors said Paul Railton was spotted
: by a cyclist driving slowly along a country lane in December,
: holding his dog's leash through the car window as the animal
: trotted alongside.
:
: Railton pleaded guilty Monday to not being in proper control of
: a vehicle, but told the court that "a lot of people
: exercise their dogs in that manner." His lawyer, Paul
: Donoghue, said 23-year-old Railton acknowledged "it was a
: silly thing to do and there was an element of laziness."
: Donoghue was quoted by British newspapers as saying that his
: client "does not usually drive in such a manner."
:
: Railton was ordered by magistrates in Consett, northeast
: England, to pay a 66 pound (about $100) fine, plus costs. He
: also received three penalty points on his driver's license and
: as a result of existing points is barred from driving for six
: months.
:
: "It is a joke," Railton said after the hearing,
: according to British newspaper The Sun. "I'm not bothered.
: I knew I would get three points. I might save myself some money
: not having a car."
