A focus for this Government is to make roads safer for all users, which will in turn reduce the risk to all animals.
Rule 286 of The Highway Code advises drivers to report any collisions involving an animal to the police, and if possible, they should make enquiries to ascertain the owner of domestic animals and advise them of the situation.
