1. Horsecart
A horsecart, or horse-drawn vehicle, is a wheeled vehicle pulled by one or more horses and controlled by a driver. Horsecarts may be used for transport, agriculture, tourism, recreation or ceremonial purposes.
Because horses can react unexpectedly to traffic, noise or sudden movements, other road users should reduce speed, leave sufficient space and avoid actions that could frighten the animals.
What rules apply to a horse-drawn vehicle in Belgium?
A horse-drawn vehicle is treated as a drawn vehicle or team. Its driver must keep the horses under control and must be able to drive the vehicle safely.
What is the minimum age for driving a horsecart in Belgium?
The driver of a horse-drawn vehicle must be at least 16 years old.
What lighting must a horsecart use in Belgium?
When lighting is required, a horse-drawn vehicle must display a white or yellow light at the front and a red light at the rear. Horse-drawn vehicles must also have two approved red triangular reflectors at the rear.
