A driver received a six-month driving ban for failing to provide information to police after a video showed him passing horse riders unsafely. Stefan Solomon, 24, admitted to failing to identify the driver of a white Ford Transit van that overtook horse riders at high speed on a rural road in September 2024. He was fined £709 and given 14 points on his license. The incident prompted a police reminder about the Highway Code, which requires motorists to pass horse riders slowly and widely, with a maximum speed of 10mph.
