the man lived far from the bus stop at wal mart. he took the bus to and from lancaster to go to work. he used his scooter because it was faster than walking and easier than running. is that okay with you ?
no the case isn't closed, he is an amishman and doesn't have a car so he does what he can to be a productive member of society. everyone on the bus likes him because of his cheerful countenance and happy demeanor. i am certain his employer found him a valued member of his company.
how hard is it not to hit a guy walking, riding a bike, or riding a scooter.
al least while sober.

first he is not an idiot, i would think the guy who hit him is the idiot, unless he was drinking at the legion all night in which case he is a moron not an idiot.
second scooters are allowed on 322 so mr. stolfus had the right to be there.
third most of his scootering was on hahnstown road not 322. he caught the bus at walmart so please look at the map....

the amishman on his scooter was not easier to run over than he would have been had he been walking.

Idiots don't belong on discussion boards but there is not much we can do about that either.

FIRST OF ALL I DO NOT DISLIKE THE AMISH PEOPLE
I LIVE IN BAREVILLE AND ALL MY NEIGHBORS ARE AMISH
I JUST THINK THE AMISH PEOPLE DO NOT USE VERY GOOD COMMON SENCE WHEN
IT COMES TO SHARING THE ROAD
I ASSUME YOU'VE NEVER DRIVIN OVER THE CREST OF A HILL
AND COME UPON 3 OR 4 AMISH ON SCOOTERS SPREAD OUT OVER THE ROAD
I'M NOT A RACE CAR DRIVER MY DAUGHTER SAYS I DRIVE LIKE A OLD
MAN THATS GOOD FOR THE SCOOTER RIDERS
SAME SITUATION BACK ROAD, NO STREET LIGHTS, DARK CLOTHING,
AMISH BOYS ON ROLLER BLADES, THEY'RE ASKIN TO GET HIT
OH BY THE WAY WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DROVE
YOUR CAR HOLDING A BABY IN YOUR LAP
AMISH PEOPLE DO IT IN THERE BUGGYS NOW THATS REAL SMART AIN'T IT
OH BY THE WAY LETS LEAVE RELIGION OUT OF IT OK
THIS DISCUSSION IS ABOUT SHAREING THE ROAD NOT GOING TO CHURCH

Well said, they seem to lack common sense, they must by now realize that cars are going to hurt them. Its almost like they don't care and are going to do what they want no matter what.
