Petition Reduce vehicle speed when passing horses and pedestrians

More details

We desperately need imposed speed limits for all vehicles passing pedestrians and animals on country roads and lanes. There is a misconception that walking in the countryside is safe - it is anything BUT safe. There must be a limit of 30mph (preferably 20mph) when passing horses, pedestrians and livestock. Animals can behave erratically for the simplest of reasons - birds, animals, fluttering litter, noises etc. and yet many people think that driving past people/animals at 40, even 50, miles and hour on narrow lanes is acceptable. This stupidity and selfishness is costing lives.
