  3. C
    Flash your headlights repeatedly so the rider moves off the carriageway
  4. D
    Accelerate briskly past the horse to clear the hazard as quickly as possible

Cevap

Slow down, keep engine revs low, and leave plenty of room when passing
Under the Highway Code, drivers must treat horses with great care. You should slow down, keep your engine revs low to minimise noise, and pass wide and slow (giving at least 2 metres of space and driving at 10 mph or less) only when it is safe to do so.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the vulnerable road user ahead and recognise their specific vulnerability.
Horses are large, easily frightened animals that can react unpredictably to sudden loud sounds and fast-moving vehicles.
Drivers must show consideration and reduce potential triggers that could panic the animal.
2
Adjust driving behaviour to pass safely in accordance with Highway Code guidance.
Reduce speed significantly, avoid revving the engine or sounding the horn, and wait for a safe gap to pass slowly with at least 2 metres of clearance.
Passing slowly and quietly with generous clearance prevents spooking the horse and maintains safety for all road users.
