Amish accident

I think you need to move back to the city or suburbs...

I've never ever lived in the city or suburbs so it makes it difficult to go back. What is also difficult is reading about young kids getting run into because they were riding in a black dark buggy. Even riding in the shade on a sunny day puts them at a disadvantage.
Unrelated to being able to see them one day a buggy came up to a stop sign but the horse reared and bolted across the road into the opposite ditch, the driver pulled it's head around and it came back up onto the travel portion. Travelling the road was a loaded log truck that veered away from the buggy into my lane as I was approaching. I will never forget the horror of seeing that truck on an incredible angle as the driver fought to keep it upright while I scrambled to come to a stop or at least avoid being hit by the truck. Just another reason I prefer not to be meeting them on the road.

Wagtail, you know what they say. Cover your ...... rump.

I try to cover it any way I can, LD. :thumbsup:

Putting my $ where my mouth is, I went ahead and ordered/bought a Parsons Rump. Very pleasent lady who said that she'd make it right away and post it in the morning!

I've ebbn in that same situation from other drivers of cars pulling in front of someone. Doesn't take an Amish buggy to make that happen.
