motorists to slow down near horses<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
RECKLESS drivers are making<br />
it increasingly difficult for Judy<br />
Nahkies to continue one of her<br />
favourite past times, horse riding.<br />
The Dunsandel resident<br />
frequently rides around the<br />
township with her 23-year-old<br />
daughter Melissa.<br />
But lately the pair are noticing<br />
fewer and fewer drivers slowing<br />
down as they go past.<br />
“I have lived here for over 30<br />
years and the roads are getting<br />
increasingly busy. We’ve had<br />
quite a few incidents where<br />
people have just not slowed down<br />
at all.”<br />
About a month ago, there was a<br />
particularly bad incident, Nahkies<br />
said.<br />
“A big stock and trailer unit<br />
zoomed past us on a gravel road<br />
and we weren’t in a position to<br />
cross as he’d come around a bit<br />
of a blind corner.<br />
“We got swamped in a big dust<br />
cloud. Fortunately my daugher<br />
was quick enough to get off<br />
her horse. My pony just totally<br />
freaked out, she hit the fence, she<br />
hit Melissa’s horse, somehow I<br />
managed to stay onboard but it<br />
was just really scary.”<br />
Nahkies said she understands<br />
that people think they should<br />
not ride on the road but she has<br />
been doing so for more than 30<br />
years.<br />
“I was really angry because<br />
not only did the driver not slow<br />
down but when he was beside<br />
us, he planted his foot on the accelerator<br />
and roared off.<br />
“It just was an awful thing. I<br />
couldn’t identify the truck. People<br />
just do ridiculous things.”<br />
Melissa has experienced people<br />
deliberately doing skids on shingle<br />
roads to spray up stones.<br />
Her aim is to promote more<br />
awareness for drivers on what<br />
they should be doing around<br />
horses, Nahkies said.<br />
“I don’t think the behaviour<br />
is malicious, I think its a lack of<br />
awareness.<br />
“Slow down, move as far across<br />
the road as you possibly can and<br />
allow space like you would if<br />
someone was on a bike.”<br />
District council transportation<br />
asset delivery manager<br />
Mark Chamberlain said roading<br />
incidents, where drivers are not<br />
taking care should be directed to<br />
the police.<br />
“We do receive requests on occasion,<br />
usually to install warning<br />
signs, and we have received two<br />
requests in the past year.<br />
“The warning signs are to<br />
encourage drivers to slow down<br />
and be aware of the hazard that<br />
horses can pose to other road<br />
users,” he said.<br />
