Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
A horseback rider is traveling near the right side of the road ahead. How should you approach and pass?
A is behind a calm horse and helmeted rider near the right side of the lane. An oncoming silver car occupies the opposing lane, so there is no current passing route.
Correct answer: Slow down, leave room, and do not use the horn.
Why
Reduce speed, leave safe space and avoid a horn or other loud, unusual noise that could frighten the horse. Stop if necessary to prevent a collision or to let the rider keep the horse under control. Do not pressure the rider into a sudden movement.
