To old to pull that big rig.
Is 70 years to old to pull that big trailer or 5th wheel you bought 10 years ago. Your eyes are weak, you are slower, the hearing not so good anymore. Maybe time to down size. What do you the America...

Used to be if I saw someone driving slow and wobbly, it was an old person. Now, it's usually a young person texting or on cell phone. And so many of them are doing recreational drugs or drinking. I pass one, see them texting, then pretty soon they roar around me exceeding the speed limit; finished texting for the moment.
So, don't think being old necessarily makes you more dangerous than average. Only you know what you can do. I'm 75 and still pull a fifth wheel. I traded my 36' in for a 32' a few years ago. I have huge disc brakes on the truck and trailer, so can stop when a young idiot whips in front of me and jams on the brakes to exit. Also, I now limit my days to 300 to 450 miles. Get too tired if I go longer days.
