Another example of why there should be mandatory training, testing and licensing to operate anything larger than a car or pickup, or to tow a trailer. A lot of folks can't negotiate a Walmart parking lot in a Kia Soul, and the next day jump in a class A and hit the highway towing it.
Some people with CDL's can't drive either. So there goes that thinking! It's not about the size of the vehicle, it's about paying attention.
That's beside the point. They might have a CDL and can't drive, but they had to have training, pass a test, and have regular mandated physicals.
A group of 7 or 8 women in their 60's / 70's and maybe 80's, were at a campground we were at not long ago. They were traveling together with a travel trailer, two class C's, and a class B. One of the women who was the owner of a class C, and the driver, had to walk to and from the site where they had their nightly get-togethers with a wheeled walker. It literally took her 5 minutes to go 100'. Now tell me she is capable of operating that class C safely? Maybe she was sharp as a tack and had the reaction times of a 20 yr old for her age when driving but while bugging out she whacked off one of the 4X4 site markers, and clipped a stop sign. That was before she made it 200 yds. at 5 mph or less.
