M325is 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 Ok, so I didn't get your number plate but I always make a note to get eye contact with drivers while riding out on the road, and by god I know what you look like! So the Forest Green E36 driver on Point View drive, if you are part of this community I wouldn't even bother showing your face at a meet. This person deliberately drove inches away from my horse and I (while the other lane was free) and when passing laid on his air horns then sped off down the road! Meanwhile I'm just about getting chucked off my horse! To people who think horses should not be on the road, roads were first built for us, and it is in the road code when you sit your license that you must keep your distance when passing - just as if your passing a bicycle! And for f**ks sake why toot your horn! It won't be funny when somebody does have a bad fall caused by you, and they do get your number plate, as you will be paying for it your whole life! If anyone thinks they know this person, suck it up and PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 That sucks, growing up in Cambridge, we were brought up to respect, and give horses a wide berth on the road, as they are so easily spooked. I can confirm it wasn't me in my Boston Green E36 (I was stuck in the office all afternoon). Good luck finding whoever it was, this is not good.

greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 being an ex motorcyclist I give horses a wide berth under all circumstances.Yep, definitely. I was unlucky enough to witness my mate getting knocked off his bike.Car clipped his handlebars, they spun a full 360 degrees, sent him over the bars, and he severely broke his wrist. Had to go into theater for several hours. After that you just become aware of the consequences of the drivers actions. They have to live with it for the rest of their life! The guy didn't have the balls to stop. Glad to hear you're fine. Cheers, Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bet you will spot him again too. You could also sneak up behind him with a nice air horn. Might aswell make use of your horse too. Poo pushed into his aircon vents and under his door handles. Also a not so subtle clue as to who did it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M325is 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Another horsey person just told me they carry stones with them while riding on the road, if somebody does something stupid they turf them at the car, apparently she has had a few cracked rear windscreens. lol Who cares about being subtle, its not like he knows where I live. But good chance we will find out where he lives, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
