On a rural road, you come up behind a person who is riding a horse along the right edge of your lane. What should you do?
A approaches a horse and rider traveling the same way along the right edge of a rural two-lane road.
Correct answer: Slow down, pass with plenty of room, and do not honk or rev the engine
Why
In New Hampshire, a person who rides a horse or drives an animal-drawn vehicle has the same rights and duties on the road as a driver (RSA 265:5). A horse can panic at sudden noise or fast movement, which puts both the rider and you in danger. Slow down, check that the other lane is clear, pass wide and steady, and do not use the horn or rev the engine.
