The majority of country roads in the UK have a national speed limit of 60mph. Although, because of the design and condition of these roads, 60mph is rarely a safe speed to travel.<\/p>\n

The Slow Down For Horses campaign aims to reduce the national speed limit on rural roads with frequent equestrian activity to 30mph.<\/p>\n

This will help to reduce the amount of accidents caused by motorists driving too fast when approaching a horse and rider.<\/p>\n

The British Horse Society <\/a>have had more than 2,000<\/strong> road safety incidents reported to them in the last two years, this includes the death of three riders and more than 20<\/strong> horses.<\/p>\n

Horse riders form a big group of vulnerable road users. Although there are 1.3 million<\/strong> horses being ridden regularly, they are often not given a second thought in the minds of drivers.<\/p>\n

Alan Hiscox, director of safety at the BHS, spoke to the Slow Down For Horses campaign he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are doing our best to reduce the numbers of incidents involving riders and horses on the road, but as there has been a 30%<\/strong> increase in incidents in the last year, something more should be done.<\/p>\n

\u201cUK roads are definitely getting busier and I don\u2019t think drivers understand the impact they can have on someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have launched our own virtual reality video online which shows how to pass a horse safely and the consequences if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am completely on board with the Slow Down For Horses campaign. Going 60mph on rural roads can be extremely dangerous and 80% <\/strong>of accidents reported to us occurred because the driver was approaching the horse and rider at a high speed.<\/p>\n

The British Horse Society supports efforts to reduce the speed limit to 30mph on rural roads and is in favour of our campaign to #Slowdownforhorses.<\/strong><\/p>\n
