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. …….
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.
“Don’t have any business”? “Scared”?
Wow! Where did that come from. I use a TPMS because it might save me from being on the side of the road with a shredded tire because I continued driving on a low tire without knowing it. Might save a couple hundred for a new tire plus having to change it on the side of a busy highway.
And I want my vehicles to have air bags, anti lock brakes, seat belts, and all the other safety features. Not because I don’t belong behind the wheel. Or am scared. But because I want myself, family, and friends protected as much as possible. And in the case of TPMS, possibly spared the inconvenience on a destroyed tire on the side of the highway.
