ASHLAND — Twenty-six Amish who refused to pay their fines for violating a law that requires flashing lights on their buggies appeared in court on Friday.

Once there, Ashland Municipal Court Judge John Good ruled out the possibility of jail time for them and instead said he would impose liens on their real estate.

I'm from an area where this can be a problem. In my experience it's pretty easy to see the buggys during the day, but at night on an unlit state road even with good head lights they can be hard to see until you are practically right on top of them.

Yeah, fuck cars, but it's just kinda a crap situation in general.

Especially because the buggies are black, which blend in at night/dusk.

Reflective tape is a thing. That can be used without electricity.

Agreed, that would be a good first step in the right direction. It shouldn’t remove the requirement for lights.

Reflective tape should also be on the horses’ gear.
