Kentucky Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of several Amish who were fined, and subsequently arrested for contempt of court when the refused to use SMV emblems on their buggies. Their position is, the bright orange SMV emblems are "too flashy" and violate their religious beliefs. They will now be allowed to use roads without the SMV emblems, instead using white reflectors/tape. White or black are the only acceptable colors in the eyes of the Amish. We have several fatal accidents involving Amish buggies on Ky roads every year.
It's my own personal opinion that failure to use the SMV emblem is much akin to riding a motorcycle without a helmet. If you're that dense, go right ahead. (Over 2/3rds of FATAL motorcycle accidents in KY involve riders NOT wearing helmets) However, I'm somewhat pleased to see ANY court upholding the right of personal choice. That said, if I go on the road with a black buggy, I'm hanging SMV emblems all over it. My choice.
