Question 6998

The driver of a herd is driving it at a run along the road. Is this correct?

  1. Yes, as long as the herd is kept under control.
  2. Only on roads outside built-up areas.
  3. No, if there are animals of the same species in the vicinity of the road.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, if there are animals of the same species in the vicinity of the road.

No. A herd must move at a walking pace, and it is also prohibited to drive livestock at a run along the road near other animals of the same species or people on foot. In the image, other cows are grazing behind a fence beside the road. Keeping the herd under control does not change anything, and the rule applies both inside and outside built-up areas.
