With summer approaching and staycations increasing, drivers are being warned to exercise caution when encountering horses on the road. Swansway Motor Group advises drivers to slow down, give horses plenty of room, and avoid sudden movements or noises that could startle them. Failure to do so could result in fines of up to £200 and six penalty points. Drivers should also be aware that many insurance companies will not pay out for damage caused by horses if the incident was the driver’s fault.
