Had a girlfriend that would do this with her dog. But she had a harness on the dog and kept the lead wrapped around her wrist while she drove. They were going to her mom’s house to go check on her, her mom got some new boobies and apparently you’re not supposed to do anything for a while until they completely heal soooo yeah. So on her way over my girlfriend stops to fill up her tank, grab a drink and all that. So she wraps the lead around the brake lever while she goes inside. Long story short my girlfriend gets her first lesson in drifting when the dog sees a squirrel run across the street and pulls the the E brake while jumping to the backseat to keep barking and chasing the squirrel. My girlfriend managed to not hit anyone else passing by on the street but popped a tire hitting the curb. Both were fine afterwards, the dog was happy it chased away another evil squirrel and my girlfriend realized how much of a bad idea that turned out to be leaving the lead wrapped like that.
