Yeah, that would surprise me as well. I can think of a couple of possible explanations: - You were talking to somebody really young and inexperienced, who did not themselves realize the risk of letting somebody drive over hose. - You were talking to a prototypical "world-weary, crusty old greybeard" who was so jaded and cynical that they were thinking to themselves: "It doesn't matter what I say, this person is going to drive over my hose anyway." - They did in fact have the ramps, that @fukawi2 mentioned, deployed. Hose ramps do make if somewhat reasonable to drive over hose, but they are rarely deployed in my experience.
