Assuming you are not prepared to force everyone to drive buggies, then why are you selective about the liberty that you oppose do to safety?

Then let's leave it up to not-quite-natural selection. Those Amish who don't have reflectors will end up getting themselves and their families killed. Those who do add the reflectors will live, and will pass on the trait that says put a reflector on your buggy.

Having dang near hit a buggy at night without reflectors, I"m inclined to lean towards working out something so that there are reflectors. Those things are too hard to see otherwise.

I can imagine driving a buggy at night on the street with no lights and no reflectors is very dangerous. Perhaps some kind of less garish reflectors might be a good solution. I would guess that the religious principles of drawing undue attention would not be violated by reflectors that were not very noticeable except at night with headlights shining on them.
