      Buggies are animal-powered, and by law (in nearly all states) that exempts the vehicle from needing plates. You don’t have to be Amish to “take advantage” of this “loophole.”

      Indiana actually does require a license plate and fee for a horse drawn carriage. Most other states do not at this time, though there are proposals in some.

        Ah, that’s why I was about to tell OP that wasn’t true. I’m in Indiana and haven’t ever seen Amish people when I’ve been to other states.

      Buggies are very popular here in Kansas and they’re not allowed to use most of the roads. They have to obey the same traffic laws as everybody else.

        In central PA they’re all over the main roads and cause extensive wear and tear as well as traffic jams

        If I drove as slow as they ride I’d be pulled over for obstructing the flow of traffic
