Truck Vs Amish Buggy in PA.

Nope Clarksville, right on the boarder of KY

 

We used to have them around here. The biggest lesson you could learn from them was how to beg for a free ride to town and back.

 

Apparently you've never worked or socialized with any of them, they keep it simple and are decent people. Ive never had a bad experience with them.

 

Imagine some state loud & clearly that they have no respect for the Amish I expect they have little respect for anyone except for self.

 

Yes we could, yet most of us wants to much & sees prosperity, materialism, money, as the answer to happiness every after.

I don't live nor drive among them, & looking at it from out here it would seem the danger would come when someone not use to seeing them on the road comes into that part of the country.

And I can see how it would be easy for someone to top a hill & one of them be in the roadway & not have time to stop.

 

I don't have the time around amish like you folk do.Ive always been envious
of how they operate,though.They are self sustained,for the most part,and don't
pull at the tit of todays failing society.
If it wasn't for that whole electricity,and ugly wimmen thing...I could see me sportin
an Abe beard,and staying out of todays crappy life styles.
The buggy accidents on the road aren't gonna go away,until they are given separate lanes.
We have problems with elite bicycle riders in my area.They wanna pack up in groups,and snarl
traffic.Hopefully one day,everbody will get theyre own piece of pavement.

I grew up next to an Amish community in N/E Ohio, as a kid I would play with the Amish kids- in the summer the Amish would come over to my home and we would go fishing in a stream not a mile from our house, in the winter we'd go over to their property and go hunting on their 50 acres.

Every Amish person I've ever met, have been the kindest, most giving and caring individuals you could ever meet.

I've seen my fair share of the Amish being killed in accidents similar to this, and all I can say; there's no excuse for this.

"Well the sun might've been blinding the driver, and he couldn't see the bugy!"
Well, horse-####. These buggies move all of 8 MPH and have, by law, a huge reflective triangle on the back of them.

What a shame, three lives ruined.
