TRANSPORTATION
Why don’t the Amish use cars?
The Amish do not drive or own cars for several reasons, including:
• Humility: A lack of expensive, fancy cars provides less opportunity for pride.
• Submission: Following the transportation rules demonstrates obedience to God, to the group, and to history.
• Community: When travel is limited, everyone stays closer together and depends on one another.
• Thrift: Not owning a car eliminates loan payments, insurance, repairs, maintenance, and gasoline.
• Family: Owning and driving one’s own car provides too many opportunities for temptation and allows one to roam too far from home.
• Separation: Their distinctive form of transportation provides a visible symbol of their separation from the world.
