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.

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

Gravel and dirt roads that were there before

Surely they were made without the multi-ton equipment that require paved roadways to use.

If I keep seeing people get hit on any of the poorly designed roads around me, I find a new path or make my own.

Sorry it works this way.

Maybe new paths could be forged. Something says you won't be shoveling anything to help out. Enjoy being mad at the world.

Yeah sure, if there wasn't productive farmland or other private property where these roads would be placed.

Unfortunately space like that exists, but it's taken up by the paved roads...

I don't know if you know this, but people get mad if you dig a road through their property.

those roads were still on state Right of Way, they're competing for the same real estate
