[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 1029323, member: 4505"] There was a fatal accident inquiry locally when a motorcyclist hit a cow and was killed. Black cow on a dark night. The owner had a history of neglecting his fences but got off with no more than a slap on the wrist. It may be the law but the cow's owner was lucky the motorcycling fraternity did not get to hear about it! Those guys tend to stick together and rather enjoy exacting revenge. The police have since confirmed that allowing livestock to stray on a turn pike road (i.e. with fences on either side) is an offence under the road traffic acts. The law has since been changed but I doubt it is now legal to allow animals to stray on the road, except adjacent to open moorland. or everyone would be grazing "the long acre" as they call it in Ireland. Of course, cattle driven along the road are not strays and that is different but there will still be a duty of care, I'd have thought. [/QUOTE]
