Awww… you can’t stand things that’re too old and too slow. Can’t take time to brake or even downshift? Your 60+ cruising time is too valuable? May I suggest Saudi Arabia. ---

Seems appropriate to revive this thread with this report: [Amish & Non-Amish Residents Speak At Buggy Regulations Meeting](http://amishamerica.com/amish-non-amish-residents-speak-at-buggy-regulations-meeting/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AmishAmerica+%28Amish+America%29&fbclid=IwAR0VO9l15y8ZAWcJl_7ZVRbPvXwipqR8kMn363HppTtujeOSR1uR_fz2Alk) From Amish America (who knew?): > [@](#): > > Accompanied by their attorney, Amish shared their views on proposed regulations at a standing-room-only supervisors’ meeting in Washington Township (Lycoming County, PA) Monday. Township officials and other residents voiced their views as well. > > At issue are 3 proposed new requirements for Amish buggies: > > Horse diapers to prevent manure falling on roadways > Rubber horseshoes to prevent damage to roadways > 4-inch-high numbering on all four sides of Amish vehicles (front, back, both sides) so that vehicles who violate new regulations can be identified and their owners fined The biggest argument from the Amish was their opposition to rubber horseshoes. ---
