Because herbivore faeces is far less dangerous to us than that of meat eaters. That's the genuine reason by the way, but I don't agree with them being allowed to **** all over the roads leaving a hazard.
The whole incident could have been avoided if there were no horses on the road at all. Completely avoidable and shouldn't be allowed imo.
Yeah and ciggerete butt's are harmless but we fine people for not picking them up either
If you take the highway code as gospel, imagine following a cyclist or horse on a hypothetical country road (in a car) with solid white lines that is 10 miles long...
You can cross the line to overtake if they're going under 10mph, which a horse will be. Not the cyclist, though.
Last time I checked a horse can trot/canter/gallop perfectly well.
That can be dangerous on the road as the horse skids if they try to stop from a trot or quicker (source: my fiancée's mum has horses).
Fixed that for ya.The whole incident could have been avoided if there were no motorcycles on the road at all. Completely avoidable and shouldn't be allowed imo.

"Pedestrians are a problem", says the biker.
"Cyclists are a problem", says the biker.
"Horse riders are a problem", says the biker.
"Cars are a problem", says the biker.
"White van men are a problem", says the biker.
Common problem is the biker. Remove motorcycles, death toll drops, job done.
Thanks for playing...
So removing motorcycles would make horses in the road a non-issue? I think cyclists actually have more issues with them than we do.
Even if a rider held all of those beliefs, it wouldn't make them a problem unless it affected their behaviour while out riding, I doubt most of us are petty enough to let than happen.
I personally don't agree with horses in the road, as much for their happiness/safety as ours, but while they have the right to use the road I will still act courteous around them.
As ttaskmaster is a biker I don't feel he was being entirely serious
I'm generally not entirely serious... at least not about these such matters.As ttaskmaster is a biker I don't feel he was being entirely serious
I don't troll.Ah okay, I don't frequent the forums too often, although I do remember his name from other semi-troll'ish posts so I did have an inkling, now I know!
And you honestly think you DO deserve it??!!They don't deserve to be on the road, there's plenty of country side and 'going for a casual stroll down the road' isn't the thing they should be doing.
