I am 69, swim half a mile 3 times a week, and in better shape than our children. No plans to give up driving our RV for many years to come. In our vintage auto racing club in Colorado (Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing - www.RMVR.com), we have a couple of people still racing in their early 80's and many in their 60's and 70's.

In 5 trys 3 ranged in the mid 30s, one at 24 and one at 57. I'm a few months shy of 70.
Another problem with that test is that it does not test braking reaction time because the legs are not involved in the test. Weak muscles, deteriorating joints (ankle, knee, hip) can seriously slow you down. I know. I have retrained myself to brake with my left leg which is much stronger and faster than my right. One reason why I very seldom drive my wife's Jeep Wrangler with manual trans.
