Need your help to save animals on the road

Guys, please sign this petition. I started it after the horse was killed on the road, and now have over 2,500 people on the FB group who agree that something needs to be done about the disrespect animals get on the road, be it horses and riders, cows, sheep and farmers. Personally i have been in a RTA involving two horses and an irresponsible driver, witnessed a cow and farmer nearly get mowed over because of a boy racer and seen people revving their engines and "pushing" along flocks of sheep not thinking about the consequence of them stampeding and running over the farmer at the front.

There needs to be something done about this, and as a relatively new driver and knowing a lot of new drivers its came to our attention that there is nothing of substance in the driving tests practical or theory to do with animals in the countryside except for maybe one or two very broad questions.

This petition aims to get the dept of transport to make it Compulsory to have a section in the practical and theory test about how to correctly pass animals on the road and what to do in a situation were the animals become unsettled.

Please help by singing:

Its an official government site so they just ask for it to make sure you are a UK citizen. Id say they would be 100% safe but then it IS the governemnt lol, if you dont feel safe giving it out please don't feel you have to! But just to let you know i have absolutely no access to the signatures, who has sent them, nor does anyone else. x

I would sign but I'm not a UK resident

I tired to sign it, but when I put Australia, it came up in red writing I couldn't sign it..bummer!!
