Here in NH we have no Amish buggies. What we do have is moose on the roads at night, and 1,200 lbs of moose through the windshield is often fatal. Moose like to scratch their behinds on trees so even though they mean to comply with the SMV emblems they often don't. Another problem is that the collisions usually occur as they are crossing roads as opposed to walking on the side of it. My personal experience is that due to the low reflectivity of their fur and their long spindly legs, they are not usually visible until you are virtually too close to stop. Therefore the only defense is extreme vigilance. If we had Amish buggies here I would appreciate for their sake as well as wives and kids that they have SMVs because they are not otherwise very visible. I am confident that tests prove that when split seconds count that an SMV emblem and it's meaning are identified significantly faster than the Amish buggie. Those who oppose the SMV emblem requirement have a responsibility to educate their state legislators of their error so that the requirement can be repealed.
