RealOne, There are reasons vehicles are required by law to have headlights and taillights, and you can get pulled over and cited if either of them are not working order especially after dark. They are part of the LAWS to USE said roads they are traveling upon. THEY, the AMISH, are compromising THEIR religious beliefs by utilizing said roads because of how many of them are made. If that is the case, then outfitting their vehicles to adhere to the LAWS of using those roads is part of the main compromise they are making to use those roads. If they refuse then by all means they should be given the consequences any and all users of those roads who break the laws have to deal with. Yeah, i know its easy to scream religious freedom but attempting to condition what laws they have to follow when they compromise their religious beliefs in utilizing something like the public roads -- nope, sorry, to me, that is where religious rights and freedoms become distorts into people playing on religion to get out of following laws. angel
