MOTORISTS who run over a cat would need to report it to police as campaigners demand for a change in law at Westminster.

The move would aim to ensure felines are protected in the same way as other animals – including dogs – and not left to die on the road following an accident.

Section 170 of the Road Traffic 1988 Act requires motorists to stop and report an accident involving animals.

These include horses, cattle, mules, sheep, pigs, goats and dogs – but not cats.

This must be done whether or not the animal was killed.

So how are you suppose to know the difference between a cat and a normal speed bump, they both sound the same when driven over  :evil: :whistler:
