You are driving on a motorway and see a horse-drawn vehicle travelling on a bridge over the motorway. What should you keep in mind about horses and main roads like motorways?

Explanation

The Highway Code Rule 52 says that before taking a horse or horse-drawn vehicle on the road, you must ensure it is safe and suitable for traffic. Motorways and similar high-speed roads are not suitable for horses or horse-drawn vehicles because of fast-moving, heavy traffic and noise, which can easily startle a horse. Therefore, they are not allowed on motorways. As a motorway driver, you should understand that horses are kept away from such roads for safety.
