Go back and view old footage of cities around 1910 approximately.
Trolleys, cars, horse drawn carts, pedestrians etc… A little haphazard but they got by because normal, responsible people usual do. It’s not that hard to accommodate Amish buggies on the road but drunk, high and careless idiots who drive reckless are dangerous to All others on the roadways. Moronic stupidity gets others and themselves often killed. Oh those ‘English’.

Cars in 1910 were little different from buggies. Almost all were open air. And they didn’t get by, they had death, injuries and chaos.

It’s fun to fly a SPAD with no radio at Rhinebeck Aerodrome also. But flying one into Los Angeles international Airport is a stupid idea.

Modern care have a posted speed limit of 65, 75 and even 80 in places. And some throwback clip clopping along at 3 or 4 miles an hour in a black cart is outrageously dangerous. And it screws up the lives of people who hit them. Normal people have such accidents also.

Join the real world or stay on the farm. Leave the buckboard at home.
