So we were hacking alone yesterday around the lanes, it was windy and the first time we'd been out alone for a couple of weeks. Lula stopped dead and I could feel her 'think' about whipping around. Next moment a car screeched around the corner and managed to stop about five feet from us. She was a star and didn't move. The driver turned off his engine and as we passed I said, "Thank you, I didn't think you were going to stop."
"Oh, I saw you," he replied.
"My point," I said calmly, "Is that I didn't think you were going to be able to stop."
He looked uncomfortable but didn't reply and then took off at the same speed.
I and my horse both wear hi vis, what else can we do to help the numpties if they just won't slow down?
I have a four years old who at the moment is confident in traffic because of the hard work I've put in over the last three years. I worry that this will change because of speeding drivers around narrow country lanes.
