Bulletin from BHS:
The guidance for motorists to pass horse riders and horse-drawn vehicles at speeds under 10 mph and allow at least two metres’ space is a significant strengthening to the latest edition of the Highway Code – The hard work from the Safety Team has been a success. The BHS is massively grateful to those members, volunteers and supporters who helped make the new guidelines a reality, undoubtedly making British roads safer. Thank you!
