Private tags for private roads. The state owns the public roads and represents the public. We've all agreed to pitch in costs and register vehicles on our roads. If you want to use them, that's all you have to do, otherwise it's trespassing.
How do you feel about the Amish using buggies on roads without license plates or paying gas tax?
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."
Good news for the sovcits then! Let's hope they never discover this loophole
Around here you can drive "farm implements" on roads without licenses. I know a redneck dude who drives his tractor to go to the legion since he lost his drivers license.
Or cargo bikes. Lots of homemade modified bikes at ours.
Can't drink and drive if it doesn't count as driving! *taps noggin*
I didn't agree to a contract forbidding me from drinking and travelling privately!
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
