ITH obvious exceptions and necessary changes the above rules for motor vehicles also apply to horse—drawn vehicles.

Study and observe them and pay special attention to the rules headed "SIGNALS," "OVERTAKING," "WHITE LINES," "CONVOYS," "OBSTRUCTION," and "LIGHTS" (so far as applicable).

Remember that you are slow moving and should therefore keep well to the left of the road. You may be the cause of serious obstruction or even danger unless you observe strictly the rules and courtesies of the road.

EEP the road as clear as possible for other traffic, and make use of grass and other verges where available, unless their use is prohibited.

When wishing to cross a road or to change direction (especially when turning to the right) select a favourable opportunity and show your intention by some appropriate signal.

If you are in charge of led animals, whether walking or riding, place yourself so as to be between them and passing or overtaking traffic.

If you are in charge of animals and have a man available, send him forward to warn traffic when you are approaching a corner or coming out of a gateway. 11
