I've seen a horse not stop at a red light.

Did it jump the red?

Gaz,, I thought you must live out in the wilds of Wales but then saw you live in South Croydon.

You get many horses down your way then ?

Are they bound by the RTA?

Jump as in like a jumping gate, no. Jump as in go through the red light, I thought that was clear from my initial statement.

Yes, plenty of horses. In fact there is a stables just a stones throw away from my house.
The one I saw was being ridden by some gypsies.

It refers just to Driver, and as such, all vehicles are required to stop at the stop line whilst the light is red.

Sorry, innappropriate levity in such a serious thread.

As you were.. long faces all round.

Ackcherly, the Act refers to 'a person driving or propelling a vehicle', not just a driver. A horse isn't a vehicle and so far I can't see that the rule applies to horse riders (except when the horse is drawing a carriage). Further digging required..
