Does your home jurisdiction require air brake endorsement?
Are there jurisdictions about the continent that allow people to drive air brake equipped vehicles without any type of training or license endorsement?

I don't think any endorsement makes a difference. The people who will drive in erratic ways, tailgate and speed will keep doing it with or without the endorsement. Bad drivers are bad drivers no matter what they are behind the wheel of.
And to the OP, NYS does not require the endorsement for Air Brakes for a RV, but if one is a CDL holder it is mandatory. I gave up my CDL about 5 years after I retired from hauling bulk petroleum products in tankers. Do I think it should be mandatory? In one work - Yes!!! Not knowing how to apply air brakes in certain situations can get one into all kinds of trouble.
