Agree with MKirsch. Doesn't matter if it's a buggy, horse back rider, bicycle, pedestrian, jogger, lawn mower or farm machinery. The guy in the car is supposed to exercise due caution at all times. It'd be nice if everyone else using the roads had big flashing lights and flags,etc. but then we'd just become complacent about them after some time. In the end it's still up to the guy in the car to use his head.
As far as the Amish in particular, yes, I wish they had flashing lights and flags, etc. But they don't. Joggers don't have flashing lights or flags either and neither do the guys with the ATVs around here that seem to think they own the road. ATV riders may have to license and insure their rides, but they are an enormous menace on our roads locally. Not 5% follow any of the laws and they are pretty much assured of a get away if they get seen since a police car can't follow them into the woods and fields. I'd be in favor of limiting ATVs to a 25 MPH speed in all cases. Put a governor on them or a chip in the ignition. I'm sure there are plenty of people that think that's harsh, but in 20 plus years of police work if found nothing turns an sane, responsible citizen into a freakin' moron faster than an ATV, hot ski boat or crotch rocket bike. Just my opinion, but it's proven accurate.

The TO-20 was relatively the same as the TE-20 except utilized some different casting materials and had a US-style electrical system. The TO-20 was a dead ringer for the Ford 9N and 2N models and they say that Ferguson did this on purpose when the Handshake Agreement wen
