^The “most importantly “ part is very well stated.
I’ll sound older than my years here, but all these crutches effectively make a lot of people feel comfortable, at least initially, operating machinery they likely don’t have any business getting behind the wheel in.
It’s not someone’s god given right to have a 40’ 5th wheel. Heck the pickups and big 5ver travel trailers are basically the semi trucks of a previous generation.
I know my limits of what I’m comfortable with and qualified to do. I wouldn’t just jump into a Friction rig crawler crane and start swinging loads around a construction site (anymore), because I’m not qualified (anymore).
Same goes for vehicles, if a person is “scared” that they might crash if they have a rear tire blowout while driving, they don’t have the experience or knowledge to be competently doing what they’re doing.
