Everyone believes they're going to be the lucky ones. Simply imposing high costs doesn't deter reckless behavior. People still drive drunk, jaywalk, drive on bald tires, smoke...all activities known to be dangerous.

Regulation creates a barrier, sure - a good barrier is one which requires training, practices, and equipment to promote safety.

imposing high costs doesn't completely remove reckless behavior but it reduce reckless behavior.

Likewise, with high regulation, there still people who drive recklessly.

Regulation creates a barrier, so its not easy for newcomer to enter and compete.

Becoming a good trucker still requires training, practices, and equipment to promote safety regardless of regulation.
