Why did the white car stop where it did?
the horse rider seemed to pull over to motion the lorry past
I took it that they went on the grass when they realised the lorry had got bored of waiting and was going to pass anyway.http://www.idiotukdriversexposed.com/hgv-driver-ca...

Has the Mazda broken down? Surely wouldn't stop just over the crest of a hill to wait for the horse, you'd just slow down and pass.

Truck is a TOTAL Muppet and dangerous
To be fair if the white car has stopped and the horse has pulled in and you can see the rider turn around and look at the truck and back again, what is the truck to do but pass if no-one else is doing anything?The horse didn't look phased by it

ker. how fking close to the horse was that??? poor bloody thing was just about in the hedge at it was - ears back, flinching away. it would have taken all of 15-20 seconds more, to get clear of the white car coming the other way and then the truck could have used all the road and given the horse/rider more space. some drivers really have no clue - it's bad enough riding on the roads (sometimes there are no options - equally some people enjoy riding out, and they're entitled to, so don't start all that *they shouldn't be on the bloody road* stuff) when drivers do give you room (most don't).
horses, even *bombproof ones* can still have moments of panic - they're flight animals and all that needs to happen is they shy away or spook at something - rear, buck or take off in some direction to try and escape and the rider falls right under the wheels of that HGV. a little common sense and a little less impatience would go a long way, but sadly some people are just ignorant, impatient, self important w

So even if the truck had waited another 15-20 seconds or another 30 as someone else posted, the truck would still have to have done the same if the horse and car are waiting there for it to happen.
yes some horses are reet tetchy and can do that turny round and round thing with or without the rider but this one from its ears looked only too content to have the truck past and out the way

It was a bit knobby and not a manoeuvre I would have undertaken but, I'm not sure it was particularly dangerous and reading the story I think they are making a bit of mountain out of a molehill.
I don't understand why anybody rides horses on the roads (assuming they are being ridden for leisure purposes), it can't be very enjoyable and it seems very unfair on the horses to put them in situations that are obviously quite nerve-wracking for them.
residential, busy roads? What is the point of riding horses there?I don't understand why anybody rides horses on the roads (assuming they are being ridden for leisure purposes), it can't be very enjoyable and it seems very unfair on the horses to put them in situations that are obviously quite nerve-wracking for them.

Too close to be honest by the truck. Thats easy to spook the horse.The horse didn't look phased by it
I think the white mazda stopped to let the horse past, being curteous, but a silly place to stop, just over the brow of the hill.

This is shocking. Start the video at around 1.45 for the action. I had to play it a couple of times to realise what was happening. Not sure how the chap actually got up and ran off after being dragging along underneath the car.

Nothing happened there, nothing! He just passed a vehicle on the road that was waiting for him to pass. This guy needs a either a life or a smack in the mouth.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4t2S6DXIig

That's seriously shocking! Can't believe what I just saw, please warn people about the graphic content on that one. That should have been attempted murder not GBH.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZGUZtPskto

I take it you've never driven the Southbound A1(M) when it splits into the M1/A1...
I have to agree on this one. The standard of driving on that small stretch is atrocious at the best of times. Nobody seems to want to slow down either and usually someone ends up flying across 4 lanes in one go.Edited by Swanny87 on Friday 19th February 10:29

Johnathan Leuty, from Wisbech, was jailed today (Friday, February 19)for four years for causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent after running over his girlfriend's ex-husband multiple times.
What was going on for the first minute?Leuty was in the car with his g/fs ex walking around messing with the car winding him up?
ok he shouldnt have snapped but some of the psycho games people play can have consequences.
Who won in the end?

Weird one. Could be crash for cash, or as someone suggested in the comments a convoy gone badly wrong. Either way the dashcam car did well to stop, but they wouldn't have been anywhere close to proceedings if s/he wasn't less than one second behind the car in front throughout...The horse rider could have moved onto the verge to give the horses hooves more grip. Shoes can be slippy on tarmac and it looks slightly uphill too.
The lorry driver was a twunt - he could easily have caught a stirrup or scared the horse.
Kudos to the horse for being bombproof there.
Horses do need to go onto roads to gain access to fields or bridleways.
Its not ideal, but you hope drivers have a modicum of sense ti give you some room.
In fact, going onto roads is a part of training to get the horse used to having vehicles passing for when they do need to use the road.
