Give them plenty of room and be ready to stop. Do not scare animals by sounding your horn, revving your engine or accelerating rapidly once you have passed them. Look out for animals being led, driven or ridden on the road and take extra care. Keep your speed down at bends and on narrow country roads. If a road is blocked by a herd of animals, stop and switch off your engine until they have left the road. Watch out for animals on unfenced roads.<\/p>\n<h2>Rule 215<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Horse riders and horse-drawn vehicles.<\/strong> Be particularly careful of horse riders and horse-drawn vehicles especially when overtaking. Always pass wide and slowly. Horse riders are often children, so take extra care and remember riders may ride in double file when escorting a young or inexperienced horse or rider. Look out for horse riders\u2019 and horse drivers\u2019 signals and heed a request to slow down or stop. Take great care and treat all horses as a potential hazard.<\/p>\n<h2>Rule 216<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Older drivers.<\/strong> Their reactions may be slower than other drivers. Make allowance for this.<\/p>\n<h2>Rule 217<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Learners and inexperienced drivers.<\/strong> They may not be so skilful at anticipating and responding to events. Be particularly patient with learner drivers and young drivers. Drivers who have recently passed their test may display a \u2018new driver\u2019 plate or sticker (see Safety code for new drivers).<\/p>\n<h2>Rule 218<\/h2>\n<p>Home Zones and Quiet Lanes. These are places where people could be using the whole of the road for a range of activities such as children playing or for a community event. You should drive slowly and carefully and be prepared to stop to allow people extra time to make space for you to pass them in safety.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mocktheorytest.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/highway-code-rule-218-home-zone.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2215 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mocktheorytest.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/highway-code-rule-218-home-zone.jpg\" alt=\"highway-code-rule-218-home-zone\" width=\"170\" height=\"214\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mocktheorytest.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/highway-code-rule-218-quiet-lane.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2214 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mocktheorytest.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/highway-code-rule-218-quiet-lane.jpg\" alt=\"highway-code-rule-218-quiet-lane\" width=\"171\" height=\"215\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rule 214 Animals.
