Road Traffic (Horse and Rider Safety) Bill

This bill introduces new safety requirements for horses and riders on UK roads, likely including measures such as mandatory safety equipment (reflective clothing, lights), standards for horse training and behaviour assessment, and rules governing where horses can be ridden. It may establish clearer liability frameworks for accidents involving horses and motor vehicles, and could include penalties for noncompliance. The bill aims to reduce injuries and deaths among riders and horses caused by traffic incidents, while clarifying rights and responsibilities for both equestrians and vehicle drivers.
