A horse you are passing is frightened, and its rider signals you to stop. What does Massachusetts law require?
Correct answer: Bring the vehicle to a standstill.
Why
When the horse is frightened and its rider or driver signals, bring your vehicle to a standstill. More generally, approach animals slowly, leave space and avoid loud noise. The handbook gives broader cautious-stop advice; this legal scenario supplies both statutory conditions.
