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.

I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm since motorcycles and cars in the US have required daytime running lights for a couple decades.

Nowhere in the US are cars required to use daytime running lights...certainly not in Ohio.

“( c ) Every vehicle traveling on a highway or vehicular way or area must illuminate lights when traveling on any roadway that is posted with signs requiring the use of headlights.

(d) For the purposes of ( c ) of this section, lights include low intensity headlights and daytime running lamp devices…”

I was responding to a previous comment that said “Nowhere in the US.” Alaska is still the United States.
