Watch: Israeli Man Arrested for Letting Dog Drive Car

By Tim Binnall

An Israeli man is in hot water with the law after he let his dog take the wheel of his car while cruising down the street. The bizarre incident reportedly occurred earlier this month in a village near Jerusalem when the unnamed driver inexplicably decided to let his pet pooch sit on his lap and maneuver the steering wheel with its paws. Amazingly, the misguided motorist likely would have gotten away with the canine-based shenanigans had he not foolishly filmed the stunt (seen below) and subsequently shared the video online.

In the rather harrowing footage, the driver can be heard laughing uproariously as the seemingly confused dog 'steers' the car down a fairly narrow road. Thanks to the man's online braggadocio, authorities were able to track down the motorist and promptly arrested him for suspected reckless driving. Suggesting that the man may not be a master criminal, his legal woes were compounded when cops took him into custody and discovered that his car did not have the proper paperwork necessary to be even out on the road in the first place.
