Not sure if this is the right area to ask this question but anyway here goes, does anyone on here know the law as regards passing said f******g horses on the highway, especially those impersonating a police officer please.
Ram a firework up his arse, light it and pin the throttle. ( by 'his' i mean the dick wearing the polite vest. )
Assume they are enjoying their hobby as I do ,usually slow close throttle and get a thankyou wave .(got a daughter has a horse so I have to be nice).
Not sure of the police variety, but here in the New Forest, they go where the fuck they like, so once inside the cattle grids to the national park, we generally slow. Why, whats happened ?? You ain't hit one have ya mate ??
However pissed off you might be to find slow moving horses on the road please remember that they are incredibly jumpy animals and it is not their fault they are on the road, its not like they have a choice, blame the riders. Pass them as quietly, smoothly , safely and considerately as you can. You are perfectly entitled to overtake them .
I went past one last weekend going in the opposite direction in a 60mph limit. Slowed to about 20, clutch in: but the 1098R with full Akro 70mm System with no baffles spooked the horse and it bolted. Young lass out on her own only just held on as it jumped onto the grass verge which luckily was very wide at that side of the road!
I always slow, pull the clutch in and coast past giving as much space as possible. As for impersonating a police officer there are all sorts and it doesn't alter the above principle. Anything else is behaving like a blockhead.
Agreed. Can be annoying though when said horse rider or cyclist is texting, but that doesnt make it rights to rev the tits off on the way past!
+1, or stop if necessary on a narrow road. We're both in the more vulnerable groups of road users, so why antagonise each other or put each other at unnecessary risk.

I slow and close throttle and coast by slowly. I like horses, they're wonderful beasts. I'd be happy to cut ignition and stop for them. Give em a sugar lump and watch their fetlocks blowing in the wind.
Theres loads around here. Both exits to my rural estate ( ) are normally strewn with varying decaying and heights of shite
Perhaps, I hadn't thought of that Bradders, thank you *embarrassed smiley* & *covering bum hole smiley*
I slow and pass wide for horse and rider but when the poncy bastards look down their nose at you and you don't get so much as a "Thank you", I think why bother?
