The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will introduce a road safety campaign to reinforce the importance of safe driving around horses and their riders.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Government's flagship road safety campaign, THINK!, aims to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads.

The THINK! Campaign plays an important role in raising awareness of, and encouraging compliance with, new road safety legislation. This has recently included changes to The Highway Code, which were made on 29 January 2022 and aimed to improve road safety for people walking, cycling and horse riding.
