The driver failed to slow down and passed dangerously close to my dogs on a single-track road, missing one by less than 20 cm. They then accelerated away with no concern for safety.
According to the Highway Code (Rules 163 and 214), drivers must give “at least 2 metres of space” when passing pedestrians, horses, or cyclists, and reduce speed to ensure safety. On a single-track road, drivers are also expected to wait in a passing place or pause until the road is clear before proceeding.
If the driver had waited just a few seconds, there would have been a wider, safe section of road to pass. Instead, their actions showed a disregard for both the Highway Code and the safety of others using the road.
