I use evidence on the ground - is it wide enough for any type of four
wheel vehicle & are there signs of wheel tracks.
I would disagree that bridleways only wide enough for a horse are rare.
If a track is designated as a public_bridleway by signage or definitive
statement then there is right of access even if privately owned.
AFAIA a cart (or "a vehicle which is not mechanically propelled") the
designation has to be a restricted_byway (or higher)
I would tag your example as a track.
Overpass in the UK returns:
bridleway/public_bridleway = 15495
track/public_bridleway = 9973
Please remember there are more renderings than just the 'standard' one
on the main page.

The wiki says a track must be suitable for farm vehicles, but it's a
rare bridleway that is only wide enough for a horse, and not for a
small tractor or 4x4 type vehicle.
Which taken logically would mean that highway=bridleway would hardly
ever be used. But it's a useful indication for map users when rendered
-- in the UK at least a bridleway is almost always a public right of
way. Whereas a way rendered as a track is often private. The standard
renderings for a track differentiate between surface conditions, but
not access.
Does a track require actual evidence of recent vehicular use? The wiki
doesn't say so. And must the vehicle be motorised? For example if the
last time a way was used by a wheeled vehicle was a horse and cart 50
years ago, was it then a bridleway or a track? And what is it now?
If I tag a way as a bridleway, and then a few weeks later see a
tractor using it, should I change it to a track?
For example, is this a bridleway or a track?
