Then add the negatives of high noise levels and the effect of bird (and possibly larger animals,pedestrians, etc.) strikes on the prop and what happens when plastic bags and other road debris kicked up by traffic encounters the prop and, as a minimum, throws off the balance of the prop. Aircraft ground operations occur in the fairly controlled environment of an airport, very different (for example) from that experienced by a car following a semi in the rain or snow.
