Those lovely people at 💙 NORFOLK NUTTY NAGS!! FUN RIDES AND EQUESTRIAN EVENTS 💙 organised another Thetford Pass Wide and Slow event here in Thetford today. Joined by many of their friends, the event was organised to raise awareness for motorist to consider other road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders, and to remind motorists of the UK rules when encountering horses on the roads.
Slow down to below 10mph to pass horses and riders, give horses and riders at least two metres space when overtaking them, don’t overtake horses and riders until they can give a two-metre clearance, give extra space when passing horses, riders, and horse-drawn vehicles at night or in bad weather, and not cut across horse riders or horse-drawn vehicles when turning into or out of a junction, or changing lane.
The majority of drivers today behaved impeccably and drove with consideration of these rules (THANK YOU), unfortunately there was at least one person who needed reminding... that's why it is so important for this event to be organised!
If you missed it, or didn't know this was happening today, please pop over to www.thetfordbubblyhub.com and find all events being organised in Thetford.
