I saw your hose-and-buggy sign from Ohio. We have
those signs
here as well, since I live in "Amish Country", PA.
And the
horse-and-buggies are quite common. They share
the road with motor vehicles even on state roads, but stay on the shoulder
when possible. And I think it's legal to pass them on a double
line. Naturally, it's unwise to pass them going around a curve.
And I have to admit that finding them on a curve can be annoying, particularly
when you're running late. I don't represent the group, but if I might
put in a "plug", information about the Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch can
be found at www.padutch.com |
