🐴 Pass horses wide and slow.🐎
Horses can be easily startled by fast-moving vehicles and loud noises. If you encounter a horse on the road regardless of the speed limit, please:

✅ Slow down to 10mph and be prepared to stop if necessary.
✅ Give at least 2 metres of space when passing and only pass when it is safe to do so.
✅ Be patient and follow any signals from the rider

A little extra care can help keep riders, horses and all road users safe.

🚨 The Government have made recent changes to police powers under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002, which is used to deal with vehicles being driven in an anti-social manner.

⚠️ There is now no longer a requirement for police to issue a warning to drivers using their vehicles in an anti-social manner or in a manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance.

❗ Police are now able to seize vehicles immediately, without first giving a warning. This is intended to help officers tackle anti-social vehicle use more quickly and prevent repeat offending.

👇🏻 The Roads Policing & Specialist Operations team have already put their new powers to good use, after they observed this vehicle drifting around a roundabout, next to a primary school in the Thornwell area.

🙃 Not only was their driving dangerous, but an inspection of their vehicle showed; 3 tyres were below the legal limit of 1.6mm; some tyres had not been fitted corrected with the inner wall being driven on the outer; and a defective handbrake.

👤 The driver, a 21-year-old male from Chepstow, has been reported to court for:
1️⃣ Dangerous driving
2️⃣ Driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition

🪝 The vehicle has been seized and no longer poses a risk on our roads.
