To prevent accidents and therefore to keep your cheap car insurance premiums intact you should always look out for horses. There are around 3,000 accidents involving horses every year in the UK. Here’s how to prevent accidents that can seriously injure the horse rider, the horse and you.
- If you see a horse always slow down so that you can pass it without scaring it, which is the main reason that horses bolt or rear up
- Wait until you can give the horse a wide berth before passing it, in the same way you give cyclists plenty of room when you pass them
- You should expect the unexpected. Remember that horses can be unpredictable so never sound your horn or rev your engine when near a horse
- Be extra careful at roundabouts. Horse riders only signal right when they are approaching exits they don’t intend to take. They keep to the left and signal left when they reach the exit they want
- Riders keep left even when turning right as it would be dangerous to move a horse in between lines of traffic where it may panic and have nowhere to escape to
- Drivers need to be aware that lots of riders are young and inexperienced and it may be their first time on the road. Sometimes when an inexperienced rider is being escorted they may ride in double file for safety
