The lighter nights are getting there and spring is not too far round the corner, although the current weather doesn’t feel like it is 🙁 One of our members has asked me to share the attached link with SDRC members regarding the recent changes to the Highway Code and its improvements for horse riders and other vulnerable road users. Please feel free to share the link on social media and get the changes made more visible to road users.
