Motor cars are forbidden to drive or own. An outsider can drive an Amish passenger to his destination though. An Amish member can also take a bus to their destination. Their belief has to do with restrictions on electrical properties. One can argue that a gas powered table saw uses an electrical charge, and they are correct. I don'y know how this works. I just know the Amish model against government, government education system, and government health system is a great model for all of us to follow.
What the "rules" are differs by church district and is agreed to annually in the Ordnung church service. So some use all gas powered tools others use none, some use some and not others.
Our community is big into solar and wind power to run their generators so they have electric. We even have Amish electricians that wire houses for us English, as they call us. Many have switched to LED lights that they run off batteries charged by their generators.
