Written Question
Roads: Horse Riding
Thursday 27th April 2017

Asked by: David Nuttall (Conservative - Bury North)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps the Government is taking to help protect horse riders on the roads; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Andrew Jones

The Highway Code provides advice to be particularly careful around horse riders.

The THINK! “Have Some Horse Sense on the Road” campaign reminds motorists of the need to be patient when they encounter horses.

The driving theory test contains questions about how drivers should interact with horse riders; and the hazard perception test includes a number of clips where horse riders are the hazard, either directly or indirectly. These clips are updated periodically.
