Motorists should only pass a buggy if it is safe and legal. On a two-lane highway, vehicles in the oncoming lane have the right of way. Drivers should wait until sight distance is good and the lane is clear. Reduce speed and move to the left side of their lane, providing as much room as possible between their vehicle and the buggy. Never pass on a hill or blind curve in the roadway.
Keep in mind Amish children are not bused to school; they walk, as much as 1-1/2 miles each way. Motorists need to be very careful when children are walking along the roads to and from their Amish schools.
