Amish buggy struck by semi

Being a country boy from the south and had a son living near intercourse ,pa(yea funny named town) back in the 90"s i was going over a hill about 7 at night and doing about 60 and seen another vehicles lights and i knew someone else was coming over the hill but when i got over there was this danged buggy on my side and thats all i could do to try and get stopped and i was in my personal car-that right there got me expecting the unexpected when in buggy land.

 

People look.....tazz is one of those people that places EVERYTHING on the truck driver and beleives no one in other vehicles has any responsibility for their actions. I guess different people make the world interesting..................I guess.

 

Roads are built for all to use without discrimination. If there are Amish on your roads, then the people should drive as such. People now a days think a speed limit sign is a speed sign. Just because it says 55 doesn't mean you have to drive it. It's simply the limit. You sound like many truck drivers that get angry if they have to slow down any. Such an inconvienience. There are four wheelers and horses all around our back roads here. You slow down and respect their use. There are many Amish communities from MN, WI, IN, OH and PA. There is even one not far from me in TN. When ever I drive through one my guard goes up because I know I can encounter a buggy at any second.

We both have our opinions. The fact is they are there and they will always be there. You can learn to deal with it and enjoy the site or you can sit there and cuss because you had to slow down. It's called stress management.

 

Yeah it's funny given their religious beliefs. There are many sexually oriented named towns in Lancaster Co. No TV and only the kitchen is heated. Probably why they have so many kids, lol.

There's Intercourse, Gap, Bird in Hand, Paradise, Blue Ball and Virginville are a few I remember.

 

I saw a factoid blurb in The Denver Post this morning indicating the driver of the semi had been charged overnight with homicide.

 

Taken from Wikipedia for all concerning the tax issue about the Amish....

Although, like other citizens, Amish pay most taxes, the United States Internal Revenue Service agreed in 1961 that they did not need to pay Social Security related taxes. This was because, under their beliefs and traditions, they do not accept social security benefits and have a religious objection to insurance. In 1965, this was codified into law. At times it has been believed - mistakenly - that Amish pay no taxes at all.[citation needed]

 

Using the logic of tazz and using the example of coming over the crest of a hill only to find a buggy traveling .5mph and he gets ran over its the drivers fault???? No wonder jurys are so jacked up....now go back to your book and dazzle us with more big words to run us down. It was very amusing.
