Is 70 the age to stop towing
I think maybe if you drive a motorhome at 70 you are safe, but pulling anything behind it is not safe.

I'm one year away from age 80, and I'm wondering if anyone cares to know how good a driver I am? Well, it doesn't matter does it? I know I can pass the vision test, AND a driving test.
So, the question remains the same, who will determine the method for eliminating substandard drivers?
BTW hooking up and towing my GMC Envoy behind my Dutch Star, in a safe manner, is a piece of cake. I even know the science behind the procedure for maintaining control in event of a front tire blowout. How do you test for that?
After vision, and knowledge, and driving test results, and other good-health criteria ... how's your brain-to-muscle and muscle-to-brain communication/reaction time?
That age-related declining communication/reaction time is beyond your and your doctor's control, but critical to being a truly good and safe driver. Fast actions and reactions are especially necessary given the way other drivers act - and expect you to act - when they're in their SUVs buzzing around you in an RV.
