That's the worst bit of footage she could come up with to illustrate her point? Horse barely reacting to someone giving plenty of space & doing no more than high 30s in an NSL? Note smug cry of "camwuh!". Personally I would have gone past at less than half that speed, but still - NOT NEWS.
WAY WAY to high a speed to pass a horse. Driver is a twonk.http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-new...

You cannot assume that riders are in control though- horse are unpredictable and inexperienced riders have to start somewhere.

How about in a field?
Horses are fine on the road, but if learning then they should be in a field/forest park type environment to start with, falling off a horse can cause very serious injuries.

Out of interest how fast should one pass a horse whilst driving?
I normally aim for half the speed limit and if that's not enough they shouldn't be on that road but I guess there must be a set speed suitable for passing?
It all depends on each individual case. Horses are spechyal and need to be treated with respetk.I normally aim for half the speed limit and if that's not enough they shouldn't be on that road but I guess there must be a set speed suitable for passing?

If I did that I would fully expect to be either run over, punched or at the very least called a lot of nasty names.
