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.

Why not use oil lamps or candles in wind-proof lanterns? Red glass for rear, clear glass for the front. My grandparents rode bikes back in the days before reliable battery lamps were a thing and that's what they used.

Where did these buggies drive before there were paved roads designed and maintained for multi-ton haulers and passenger vehicles? 🤔

Too bad the Amish are anti-violence since the real way to fix this issue is not flashing lights but cleverly places shaped charges that go off toward whatever hits them. If you told this to drivers I think most would start looking for buggies with a bit more gusto.
