Put it on your local Facebook site. Also there is a FB page called Pass Wide & Slow may be worth having a look at. there are quite a few near misses on there.

Report it BB, if you ask me it doesn't look like you threw your whip at all, in fact I didn't even realize it had left your hand until I saw you mention it, and even then it's not obvious.

It makes no difference if you threw your crop at his window.
However do not put the video on any more social video sites if you repoirt this incident to the Police as they may ask you to take them down.
Please now and as a matter of urgency report this incident to the Police and insist that they give you an ‘Incident Number’ (so that you know it has been recorded on their systems database). Most police forces now have a ‘Snap Portal’ where you can send in hat cam coverage.
Also report to the BHS Horse i App or www.horseincidents.org.uk web site as they collect statistics of the type of incident, time, date and location for statistical purposes which can then be used when negotiating with central and local government methods to improve road safety for Horse Riders and Carriage Drivers.
In addition if you know of a number of incidents along this stretch of road you have the option of organising a Police ‘Slow Pass’ Operation along this stretch of road, which involves a ridden or driven horse being observed by Police Officers and any dangerous drivers are stopped and talked to.
To organise a Police Slow Pass Operation contact the Safety Department of the BHS H.Q.
Tel: 02476 840516 E-mail: safety@bhs.org.uk
As regards other measures you can take I would recommend wearing a long sleeved Hi-Viz jacket so that other road users can clearly see your hand signals
Please also look at the 'Pass Wide and Slow' Facebook Page

I would report it anyhow, I wave a stick at drivers and would not stop me I would just say if My stick hit the car he was too close. I reported two drivers yesterday, I was lucky and spoke to a cop who has a horse.Yeah i can see it but cant report it if i threw my crop off his window
I ALWAYS carry this crop and poke it out if they come close.https://shiresequestrian.com/rainbow-schooling-whip-7680 hi viz pink or orange, I wont hack out without my whip, saved me so many times and made the car move over.
one pass so close once that my whip touched the pillar of the front door then pinged back through the window at the back. Tough I thought, I would not think twice to flick my whip at a car if they did that to me, serves them right.

Say you went to use the stick on your horse, and car was so close it made contact. I have been known to hit a car before, and told police that, I just said I waved my whip out to say move over. Police made nothing of it.I have reported it, i will not say I threw it then

Did you accidentally drop your crop or maybe the car knocked it out of your hand?
