You might call this alleged street racer a rebel without a car.

Police in Ashland, Ohio, say they have charged an Amish man with driving left of center after he clipped a motorist during a horse-and-buggy race.

Law enforcement officials say Jacob Raber was the man behind the reins when a horse carriage struck a car on Route 758 on Sunday, Fox 8 News reports.

Raber was reportedly racing another horse and buggy to a nearby church when he attempted to make a pass.

When I was like 18 I figured out that if I said I didn't have my insurance card when I got pulled over for something like speeding, the cop typically just gave me a ticket for failure to provide proof of liability insurance. Then I took my card to the clerk's office and got it dismissed. Got out of so many speeding tickets that way... then they caught on and just started fining me for both.

I must say, this sounds pretty fun and secondly, I had no idea that those things were even allowed on streets.
