Driver calls horse rider 'middle class t**t' and tells her 'cars don't have to slow down for you'

A horse rider filmed a confrontation she had with a driver on a lane in an upmarket Welsh village. In the video, the man calls the woman, a nurse, a "middle class t**t" while he refers to another rider on the road as "Miss HRT Karen".

The exchange happened when the horse riders were out on a lane in the village of Peterston-super-Ely in the Vale of Glamorgan, not far from Cardiff. In the footage, they and the driver clash over how each perceived the manner of his driving. The rider claims the driver "nearly killed" them while he says he "didn't come anywhere near" them and slowed down as soon as he saw the horse.

It happened on a route the riders say they enjoy riding "a couple of times a week" and say they were left shaken by the altercation. One of the riders, who recorded the footage and asked to be anonymous, explained: "We were riding through Peterston-super-Ely and this car came towards us so we asked him to slow down. Drivers hate horses on the road but were were in the middle of the countryside."
