PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO PREVENT MORE ANIMALS FROM BEING HIT.

Never get complacent We always say! Last weeks accident report shows that.

Thursday 01/08/2024 11:00 am Dun or grey foal - Nothing Found - HIT & RUN Ringwood Road, Burley, between Honey Lane & Longmead Road

NOTHING FOUND, MEANS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE AGISTERS DIDN'T FIND AN ANIMAL. THEY GO OUT AFTER THE EVENT TO LOOK FOR AND MAYBE FIND AN INJURED ANIMAL.

5 accidents ALL IN DAYLIGHT. 3 HIT AND RUNS.

This is totally unacceptable.

One on the reasons we think this is happening is people thinking it is ok to NUDGE livestock out of the way when they are standing on the roads.

If you think that driving up to Livestock close enough to hit it to move it out of the way, you are hitting it...no if, buts or maybe's. Dash cam footage from other drivers will make you very easy to find.

New Forest Livestock have the right of way, and you must pass them wide and slow. Trying to beep your horn, drive closer to them to get them to move can cause an accident.

Please give yourself and livestock space. If you cannot easily manoeuvre around them, you are too close.

If any part of their body hits your vehicle, you have hit them.

Some livestock are fragile, hitting a donkey or pony foal, even at low speed can break limbs.

So please remember, you are crossing their Forest, not the other way round.
