ASHLAND — Twenty-six Amish who refused to pay their fines for violating a law that requires flashing lights on their buggies appeared in court on Friday.

Once there, Ashland Municipal Court Judge John Good ruled out the possibility of jail time for them and instead said he would impose liens on their real estate.

    Why not use oil lamps or candles in wind-proof lanterns? Red glass for rear, clear glass for the front. My grandparents rode bikes back in the days before reliable battery lamps were a thing and that’s what they used.

        Ok, but why? None of our motor vehicles use flashing lights, why them?

          They sure do when they’re going slower than regular traffic. They’re called “hazard lights”. You may find you have them in your car too.
