Hard to type with the dog on my lap.. how do people drive with dogs on their lap?

Okay.. I have to rant. Drives me crazy to see people with their little dogs on their lap when they drive. I've told a few that if the airbag goes off, even in fender bender, their dog will be killed, and they will be injured.

So I"m trying to type this, and I have my 39 pound mini Aussie on mylap, and it's hard to type. (there is some training exercises at the local military base, so he's not digging the sound.) Can't imagine driving like this.

Do you see lots of people with dogs in the driver's seat when they drive? Or is it a regional thing in my affluent and clueless area? Best one I saw was: dog on lap, smoking a cigarette, talking on a cell phone, turning the corner using her elbow!!
