The Amish believe that owning a car could lead to a tearing apart of the family, church, and community. People who own cars tend to be away from home too much, and cars make the community more scattered. Convenient transportation could also lead to easier temptation. Owning a fancy car could become a symbol of pride. Cars usually have a radio and require insurance, both of which are prohibited by the Amish church rules. However, the Amish have no objection to riding in a car whenever necessary, as they cannot easily go everywhere they need to go by horse and buggy. Therefore, many Amish hire non-Amish drivers to transport them to places outside of the 10-15 mile limit they would usually travel in their buggies. Horse and buggy at a hitching rail
