The reality of the DMV code here in Indiana is that it is selectively
enforced. Farmers get by with just about anything. So do the Amish.
Commercial trucks are put under a microscope.

I saw an Amish guy driving a team of big work horses down a fairly busy
blacktopped road the other day. I noticed that something was odd
regarding the wagon it was pulling - then I realized that it had no
wheels. The Amish guy had constructed a steel drag or sled without
wheels - it had big angle iron runners - like 3x3 angle and slid on the
pavement. He probably did this so he could exercise the horses. So
much for long road life! And they just repaved that road last fall.
