Ex-Tostock council leader gets 'horse rage' driving ban

I was always led to believe that a horse can use a public highway, simply because they have been around longer than a propelled vehicle. Although motorists generally pay for the road, if we ban horses should we ban pedestrians and cyclists too? As to the horse mess they don't leave anywhere near the amount of mess as some humans do on a Friday or Saturday night...

Good point - although with the exception of leaving a bit of a gap you dont have to slow down going passed them. Horses you do, or should.

Must admit the roads i use don't seem to be that littered by humans but do see the news and TV programmes that follow clean up companies on a Saturday night in the major cities. A job i could never do is clean up the dreaded "pavement pizza" 

All credit to those workers that shovel the crap that our alleged civilsed society throw on the ground rather than find the nearest bin whilst paralytic.
