Sorry it took me so long to get back. Your example of the long pole and someone walking into it- no, that would not fail under the V+T. Not in the way your terming it. As long as it was flagged it wouldn't be a V+T violation in the sense you want it to. That might fall under a section of Penal Law, maybe the negligence would be more appropriate in a Reckless Endangerment charge, but would not fall under the V+T.

A horse drawn buggy can be a vehicle, although there was talk of creating a special category for them at one point.
