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.

I doubt the speed limit on those country roads is more than 55 on any of them. They weren’t on an interstate or anything resembling one. Two lanes. That’s some highway!

Gotta make the roads safe for drugged up kids who break the law right?

How leftist of you. Protect the criminals and punish the innocent.

In what world? Buggies, bicycles, pedestrians all travel small roads where speed limits generally max at 35.

Only idiots drive fast on back roads. School zones are 20 mph speed limit limits, so that people STOP for pedestrians.

SMH. 🤦‍♀️

'Detectives concluded the driver had a clear view for 1,452 feet before the crash, and there were no obstructions, according to court documents.'

The buckboard had nothing to do with it. A stalled car or a kid on a bike would have met the same fate. Nice try tho......
