A few sharing the road with buggies safety tips to save even more lives: Never, ever pass a buggy if there's a road or driveway on their left cause not all buggies have or use turn signals.
Don't stay behind a buggy for longer than necessary.
Don't just 'creep' past a buggy; go at a normal speed.
Pass with enough room so you don't almost hit the horse's head when coming back into the right lane.
Pay attention to the horse's feet. If the horse is trotting along evenly and straight, chances are, he's pretty safe. If you see his feet doing crazy things, then the driver is most likely having a hard time controlling him.
