On a rural road, you come up behind a person who rides a horse on the shoulder. What should you do?
A approaches a horse and rider from behind on a rural road. The horse is on the shoulder beyond the road edge; no passing route is selected.
Correct answer: Slow down, pass with plenty of room, and do not use your horn.
Why
People who ride animals may use most public roads, but not interstates, and they have the same rights and duties as drivers of vehicles. A frightened horse can jump into your path or throw its rider, so take every care not to startle it. Slow down early, give the horse and rider plenty of room, and never sound your horn near a horse.
