And a LOT of deer get killed cause they arent visible,,like the Amish. If they want to live like that,,fine. But they should think about how people feel when they are driving normally and accidently kill some throwbacks. The triangle is your friend. And i’m pretty sure Jesus wants you to have a triangle. He thought life was a gift to us, and is never on the record as being for death for stupid reasons.
And if Jesus woulda seen their buggies,,it’d be like me looking at the newest Ferarri. The onus has to be on the weird one. If you fly a Piper Cub into Los Angeles International,, you better have a transponder. Thats just life!
Nice. LOL.
I haven’t come up on one in the dark yet, it’s scary enough to come up on one on a narrow but busy road in broad daylight if you aren’t expecting it. I’m getting used to looking out for them and the slow moving motorized (non-Amish) farm tractors too.
Interesting and welcome to FR. Where in MD did you flee from?
Reflective tape, AND red lights are just not enough for the Road GESTAPO! Gotta have an orange triangle, with DOT standards, three blind mice, 14 permits and 57 pages of Goobermint papers. Or its PRISON for you scofflaws! Kauze its a free country and all...
Uh ... I'm not sure you'd want that behind a horse ...
Thanks! Baltimore City and Baltimore County for a good chunk of my life then Harford County for another 5 years. I lived in PA around Hershey and Harrisburg as a young child. Now I'm back in PA.
Ahhh Bal-Mer.... Fifth generation Eastern Shoreman here that moved to New Mexico... tough to find crabcakes though.
We live close to two Amish communities here in Ohio. I have seen some funny things, but the best was the old Amish guy riding around the Amish flea market in his electric scooter.

Ya know, I like the Amish and everything, but these guys are total idiots - modesty code my buggy behind. For heaven’s sake, Abner, they ain’t asking you to go nekkid and wear it as a fig leaf! If you don’t want to comply, then drive on your own roads . . .
Guilty!!
Yes, I know in this case it’s more stupidity than liberty; but here it’s the thought that counts: Amish stickin’ it to ‘the man’.
Do the Amish freeze when your headlights hit 'em?
We came across one of those horse-drawn Amish buggies on a back road in Hart County, Kentucky. Don’t tell the Amish in Graves County, but the Hart County buggy had an orange warning triangle on the back.
Different sects have different rules.
That’s just great but you’d think they’d at least have a quartet of percherons for the amish airlines.
Yea. No good steamed crabs here in Lancaster either. : (
Certainly one of the few things I miss about B-Town, that and some decent Thai food. At least I’m still a relatively short drive away if I really get a craving.
We’ve got 8 years olds here standing with teams of percherons. We also have the triangles so our Amish are more law abiding. Deer are much more dangerous on the roads.
Those men are tall!
I think they are measuring in inches. Not feet/inches.
