Pony killed Pony killed

ANOTHER New Forest pony has been killed on the roads.

A bay mare died in a collision with a vehicle on the B3056 at Parc Pale, despite wearing one of the fluorescent collars that aim to reflect car headlights.

Lets hope the owner of this pony is prosecuted for not having it under control, and I hope also the insurance company claim back for the damage inflicted on the vehicle.
The most important thing is we all hope no humans were hurt.

user12 , if the driver swerved to avoid the pony and died. But the pony survived would that make you happy ?

I think the man has a point, free burgers for all.

Ponies were on the forest long before cars were invented, people need to drive carefully - it's not as if drivers don't know what they'll encounter there. There are speed limits and signs warning motorists. Some drivers are too complacent - I'm not saying this animals death was caused in this way, but comments like those above are just intended to be inflammatory - typical idiotic Echo "comment-makers" only on here to bicker amongst themselves... You know who you are!

You are an idiot the ponies have right of way throughout the forest, it is up to the driver as per the highway code to drive as the road conditions dictate.
This means that if there is any likelyhood of loose animals you must drive carefully and slowly enough that you can stop in time should an animal cross your path.
That pony could have been your dog or your child would you have made this stupid comment in that situation

Yes it would as he had not been driving within his capabilities and as the road conditions demanded.

Lets hope the CAR owner is the one prosecuted and hopefully the insurance WONT pay out! How dare drivers think they can go on wildlife territory and kill animals just like they're meaningless! Try looking at the highway code and the many road signs. Its the owner of the pony who should prosecute the driver for taking away an animal that would have suffered horrific pain, YES believe it or not animals DO feel pain!

That pony could not have been my dog or my child because, wait for it, it was a pony, nor do I let my dog or child run wild on new forest roads, I as a parent and a dog owner take responsibility for both, something the owners of these flee bitten nags should be forced to do.
As for being an idiot, that's your opinion to which you are entitled, but I'm not the one making bold statements about the drivers ability as per the highway code on such little evidence.
Only a real idiot would do that.......

The reason I called you stupid is further reinforced by your reply.
Listen carefully as i will say this only once!
The New forest is what it says a FOREST, not a playground or a field surounding a road, it has loose animals which are the property of the Commoners who have every right to graze their animals.
You and your car may use the forest roads bearing in mind that respect for the forest and its animal comes as part of that right.
As for me being an idiot, I am not the one who supports the drivers that have not only killed an animal, have probably wrecked their car with no one who they can claim compensation from and also put their own life at risk from their own bad driving.

You won't need to claim compensation if you have the proper level of insurance cover.

Thats not the point Pal, its the arrogance that the poster blames the animal and its owner rather than the bad driver who killed the animal.

No I just thought I would lower myself to a level that you could understand as someone who thinks the pony was at fault must have a low IQ.
It seems I have not reached your level yet.

You really should stop assuming things about people you don't know,that shows a very immature side to your personality, I did not say the pony was at fault, being a dumb animal I'm sure you feel empathy towards it, what I implied was the owner was at fault.
Now I really must be of before people start talking about us, Iv'e an early start in the morning and the abattoir won't open itself.

I felt that you has a basic misunderstanding of the principal of car insurance that needed to be cleared up. Who calls anyone 'pal' these days?
