An Amish person in a car on Sunday might be unusual. Don’t they ride around in horse driven conveyances?

I misread it. Yes, they ride in horse and buggies. It would be unusual for an Amish female to be riding in a car.

They will ride in cars but can not operate them.

As my central -PA husband says, Mennonites drive the cars and Amish ride with them to work.

According to one of the former waitresses at the Amish market near us, “We’re allowed to ride in them, but we’re not allowed to drive them.”

BTW, a couple of the businesses there are named Stoltzfus. I wonder if they’re related.
