How should you pass horse riders on the road?

  1. Quickly and close

  2. Slow and wide

  3. At the speed limit, regardless of distance

  4. Honk to alert them first

The correct answer is: Slow and wide

When passing horse riders on the road, it is important to give them enough space to feel comfortable and safe. This includes passing slowly and keeping a wide distance in order to avoid startling the horse or causing any accidents. Options A and C are incorrect because passing quickly or at the speed limit can startle the horse and put both the rider and the passing driver in danger. Option D is also incorrect as honking can startle the horse and should only be used in emergency situations. Therefore, option B - passing slowly and wide - is the safest and most courteous way to pass horse riders on the road.
