The Highway Code: Important changes impacting horse riders

The Highway Code was updated on 29 January 2022, some of the key changes are that drivers are now advised to pass horses at no more than 10MPH and at a 2 meter distance.

Whilst changes to the Highway Code do not affect the law governing road users, it is important to note that the Highway Code is advisory and that infringements can be useful in helping to argue where liability should rest in the event of an accident.
