I like the Amish don’t want reflectors on their buggies, I don’t want them on my tractor on the highway either, or equipment. Their religion, they ride in busses with red tail lights, eat chips, candy, soda even beer out of containers that are red, orange, bright colored. I am told that in Indiana (yes the state) they had to have lights head and tail lights, rubber tires on thing on the roads, rubber shoes on horses, smoke detectors in their homes, sewage systems. Their buggy lights had generators and a very sophisticated system for lights, their homes had cisterns, I see Amish have fields drained, managed by big red diesel tractors on their property, ride in your vehicle use your phone, watching tv in stores even using cell phones (theirs or others). You try being on the highway with steel wheels, deposit manure on the highway (destroys our vehicles), children driving these buggies/wagons. I saw an Amish with a rubber tired John Deere runnning gear last week on the road hauling slab wood. There is another community I am told in our area where they have church services in rotating homes so they are all classified religious houses and don’t pay taxes? Do we transport them in school buses? Too many double standards? What is the difference, legislation and those that legislate don’t dare of can’t do their elected duties, just for prestige and pay? Come on protect all of us, care for our roads, even if they don’t want or care to.
