Good grief, we’re getting picayune. This is a ridiculous use of government resources.

I guess you've never driven in Amish country ...

Its bad enuf that you're doin' the speed limit, comin' around a curve - and there's a buggy RIGHT IN FRONT of you ...

THEN, ya gotta slam on the brakes ...

Thats why the state puts up yellow warning signs with buggies on them - to make you aware ...

NOW, imagine this happens at night - the buggies have oil lamps in the front and back [NOT very bright illumination] ...

THATS WHY the state REQUIRES the REFLECTIVE signs on the REAR of the buggies ...

STILL, EVEN WITH the signs, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, you read about a car accident involving a buggy ...

USUALLY, A LOT of the buggy occupants are killed ...

Not to mention the horses.

The ifra-red technology that is now being installed on cars now will probably make this a non-issue.

That is why we used to drive fast on Sundays, when they were in church (most of the day, iirc). We were more cautious the rest of the week.

No sweat, with Obamas policies we’ll all be a riden horse and buggie soon.
