Avon and Somerset Police horses have been kitted out with front and rear cameras, in an effort to capture poor driving.
Avon and Somerset Police say the decision to use cameras follows concern from horse riders.
In a tweet, Avon and Somerset Police said: “Following concern from horse riders and to expand our work protecting vulnerable road users, we’ve today kitted out @ASPoliceHorses with front and rear cameras aimed to raise awareness and also capture and address poor driving.”
Pictures show the police horses wearing high visibility coats, with cameras strapped to the front and back of the officers.
The Highway Code for passing horses when driving states: "Be particularly careful of horse riders and horse-drawn vehicles especially when overtaking.
"Always pass wide and slowly. Horse riders are often children, so take extra care and remember riders may ride in double file when escorting a young or inexperienced horse or rider.
"Look out for horse riders’ and horse drivers’ signals and heed a request to slow down or stop. Take great care and treat all horses as a potential hazard."
