[QUOTE="rla442, post: 1237116, member: 13688"] Not much difference than kids riding a bike or a those Yankee kids out on 4-wheelers. I live deep in the heart of Amish country (more horse and buggies go down my road than cars) and like anything else driving down the road you have to be cautious when passing. Most of the time they are off to the side of the road but the idiot Yanks that are too impatient to wait to pass are the real problem. More than once I've had a buggy (adult driven) make a left hand turn or pull out in front of me when I didn't expect them to. But, I've never had a problem with the little Amish kids that have a pony with cart going down the road. Most are very cautions compared to the older teenager Amish. The family black lab wandered off one day and we couldn't find it. Finally I put an ad out in the local Free Press. I got a call from an Amish girl and told me they had her but wanted to keep her. I explained there were little kids that the dog belonged to they missed her so she gave me her address which was through the woods on the next road over. When I get there, the kids have the pony collar on my dog and she's hitched to their little wagon pulling them around the yard. You'd also be impressed with those little Amish kids ability to ride in and steer a little red wagon down a mile long hill. [/QUOTE]
