What might give Jenny a clue that there are horses on the road ahead?

Explanation: • The sound of hooves on the road surface: No it is very unlikely that in the cab of her vehicle. Jenny will hear the horses hooves before she picks up on other early warning signs.
• Vehicles coming the other way flashing their lights: No. the Highway Code says that you should only flash your headlights to 'show other road users that your are there. Do not flash your headlights to convey any other message'.
• Vehicles coming the other way with their lights on: No. this is more likely to be because of the reduced visibility caused by the rain and the time of day.
• A triangular sign with a picture of a horse and rider in the centre of it and horse droppings in the road: Yes. this sign is the official Highway Code sign warning of the possible presence of horses with riders - and droppings are a very good clue as to what might be ahead.
