Isn't "gray tape" just ordinary Duct Tape?
What good is that gonna do?
God bless the Amish. But I really dislike reading stories about cars plowing into their buggies.

Good time for my questions:
Are the Amish people politically active? In that are they known to be of one political party or another? If they are voters who do they vote for usually?

"A conservative Amish sect..."
I am not at all fond of those liberal Amish sects.

Reflective tape comes in different colors. Red reflective tape may have been too gaudy for them.

Contrast this story with
this one... Many people are confused by the orange triangles, thinking they are yield signs or even biohazard warnings.

If having a orange triangle on the back of a buggy interferes with the practice of their religion, how do they reconcile with even being on state maintained road in the first place?

What goes....
Clop, Clop, Clop, Clop, Clop
BANG!
Clop, Clop, Clop, Clop, Clop?
Ans. An Amish drive-by shooting.

The gray tape is reflective tape. Its not just ordainry duct tape.
Chalk up a victory for my relatives.
Note this nonesense:
The state´s expert concluded the tape is not as visible to motorists approaching from the rear of the buggies during daylight, when most of the buggies are on the roads, Popovich said.
The same reasoning says black cars should not be driven without bright orange triangles on them.
They mention daylight because the gray tape is actually more reflective at night than the orange signs.
To: Willie Green
"The Old Order Amish say the triangles offend their religious beliefs. They say the garish color violates their simple lifestyle and that displaying it would show they rely on it rather than on God for their safety."
So using gray tape doesn't show that they are relying on it (the tape) rather than God for their safety?????
I don't get it, either you rely on God or you don't. If gray tape is OK then a dayglo orange triangle should be as well...

Why don't they just put up big signs in the area that say, "Amish Crossing"?
That's all the warning you'll get for deer or livestock.

Interesting.
