We pass buggies daily with our semi's. We have to drive through Shipshewana or Middlebury daily. Some routes have buggy lanes which are wide enough for the buggy to fit in and you can see the damage the horse hooves do to the road. It's the horse that concerns me as some are either too high strung or not fully trained. Seen one horse about pull a young woman through the open windshield of her buggy. Now days there seem to be more homemade buggies or open carts (car seats mounted on a wooden frame and car tires, redneck Amish?) Many young boys are given miniature horses and a cart to train and learn their horseman skills. Some will race these along the state roads. No age restriction.
By law the buggy (classified as a slow-moving vehicle) is required to move over and let faster traffic pass, some refuse to move over.
No requirement on seating or number of passengers. Some remind of clown cars with all the people inside. Seen buggies pulling boats and even the occasional popup camper. Wonder what his axle ratings are ;)
