Our team at Deepcar are lucky enough to work in some of the most picturesque parts of the county. The rural areas in the Northwest of Sheffield are a lovely place to visit, go for a hike in the hills, watch a cricket match on the village green, or enjoy a drink and a bite to eat in one of the many cafes or pubs. When travelling through the countryside on the narrow, winding roads, we ask that everyone takes care and shows consideration for more "classic" types of road users.
Horses are flight animals and can react unpredictably to sudden noises or movement. Following simple Highway Code guidance can keep horses, riders, and drivers safe.
• Slow Down: Drop your speed to a maximum of 10 mph on approach and while passing
• Give Plenty of Room: Leave at least 2 meters of space when passing.
If there isn't 2 meters of space available -
• Be Patient: Don't sound your horn, rev your engine, or accelerate quickly once past.
• Expect the Unexpected: Look out for signals from the rider asking you to stop, slow down, or drive on.
Operation Snap allows road users, including horse riders to submit video footage (from dash cams or hat cams) showing dangerous or careless driving around horses. Submitting clear footage allows trained officers to review the incident and take action. For more information, follow the link below -
