But it boils my urine when people automatically take the side of a child that is unable the control an animal, on a road that it really should not be on.That rigid should have slowed down a lot, it didn't whether the hazard was a horse or not is pretty irrelevant. Yes, the truck could have slowed down, and certainly should have stopped after the collision, he's certainly not without blame. But should they? (I accept that that is a debate for another day, and a moot point in this instance). Cars have to wait, before going around the horses. sounds like the horse was already out off control.

She should be thankful she's still alive due to not taking due care and control Bigtruck3 SENIOR MEMBER Posts: 758 Joined: Tue 8:04 pm The rider could not control the horse as she was a child in charge of a beast on a public road and that's what sticks out a mile Totally agree the truck was coming from the other side of the road no contest, if it was overtaking them then yes he was wrong The nodding donkey wrote:As someone who is used to passing horses, in lanes or on farms, I'll say this. Until we see the tacho analysis, there is no way of knowing wether the driver did, or did not, slow down, or even how fast he was going. Every biker knows and accepts the risks.Īs for the mum giving it the " that could be your child or relative". But on major roads, no, there is no place for horses, ridden by children, not in proper control of a horse.īTW, you are always "millimeters from death" on a horse. Cattle needs to move, tractors trundle along, and yes, even horses are moved about. On minor roads, in the countryside, you have to accept that some degree of leeway is required. If I was to drive my car or bike, recklessly, and expecting everybody else to pussyfoot around me, I would be locked up. If I was to take my car out, without insurance, I would be locked up. If I was to use a vehicle on the road with defective steering, so I could not control its movement, I would be locked up. There is no legal requirement to be trained, nor a required standard of control of a horse, nor a minimum age to take one out on the road. There's no way of identifying a horse, as it has no legal mark like a number plate. They don't require insurance, despite being able to cause serious damage. They are not rational, don't have brakes, and no steering. Horses should not be ridden on major roads. Welcome to .As someone who is used to passing horses, in lanes or on farms, I'll say this.
