Motorcyclist faces fine for letting dog steer bike

Police in Hanoi, Vietnam, are looking for a man who let his dog steer his motorcycle on the road after a video of the incident appeared online.
The film shows the man with his dog in front letting go of the handlebars while his dog has its paws on them. The man keeps telling the dog “Good!” Traffic police officers called the act “extremely dangerous.”
Nguyen Van Quy, a Hanoi traffic police officer, said: “The act must deserves harsh criticism and punishment.” He said if arrested the man would be fined VND5-7 million (£210, $320), the designated penalty for “releasing both hands while driving a motorbike.”

The officer said he would also lose his drivers’ license for two months and his motorcycle for a week. In addition, the man wasn't wearing a crash helmet, which attracts another VND200,000 (£6, $10) fine. Lawyers said he would bear criminal responsibility if he killed or injured someone.
