I beg to differ - why should Dobbin be allowed to use a public highway when he doesn't have a tax-disc? And to say it's usually the car driver at fault is a fallacy. On numerous occasions you'll see a large group of horses and often very young riders on carriageways that are completely unsuitable; an animal that is easily spooked shouldn't be in a situation where the X31 is tearing past it a matter of metres away.
