Do they also tend to be ignorant of restricted areas? Do they wander across
country without sectionals - or any regard for others?

If you fly anything - glider - 747 - F14 - you have the responsibility for
staying out of restricted areas.  No need to wory about the microwave
receiver area - it will be marked well on all sectionals.
