You are driving on a motorway and see a slow-moving horse-drawn vehicle travelling on a bridge over the motorway on a minor road. What should you do?

Explanation

The Highway Code Rule 52 advises that horses used on the road should be calm, properly controlled and accustomed to traffic. However, even well-prepared horses can still be startled by noise and movement from a busy motorway. When you see a horse or horse-drawn vehicle near a motorway (for example on a bridge or at a junction), you should drive with extra care and be prepared for sudden or unpredictable movement. You must not sound your horn or flash your headlights in a way that could startle the horse.
