That certainly might be the case. But it's the same test for 'professional' drivers. Many dont bother to DO the brake testing every day, which leads to issues. Only a handful of drivers (myself included) have the technical ability to repair/replace the gear they are driving. Doing a good pretrip every day will get minor problems noticed long before they become incidents like the ones that always seem to make the front page when they happen.
