Driving or aiming? The dealer where I work we drive motorhomes to and from our other dealers in other states. I'm one of the kids at 63, most are in their 70's. We have a mandatory stop driving age at 81. We all have CDL's and all are given a driving test every year by a company check driver. DOT physicals are given every year or two. Still, we have drivers in minor crashes that ends their driving with us.
So my added question would be how many over 80 are competent to be driving a motorhome? How many struggle to drive but don't let on to any one about it? When was their last driving test? Physical exam? Eye exam? Should there be a cut-off age like 65 for airline pilots? How does anyone know when someone is past the cut-off point to drive a motorhome if there is no yearly testing? Do we wait for them to crash?
