In most states in the USA if towing at 65-70 mph, you'd very often find yourself parked on the shoulder of the road safely protected from other vehicles by a vehicle with flashing lights while getting your very own personalized invitations to very soon visit the building where they separate you from your money until you reach your limit of specially bestowed gift notices. Then you'll get to sit and relax while a sane person drives. Soon after redeeming your special gift notice, your insurance carrier will send you invoices with much higher numbers on them for at least 3 years. Hey, bigger is better, isn't it???

CA is an exception at 55.
And my insurance CO doesn't using speeding violations in rate setting.
That said, I tow at 60ish the vast majority of the time, not in any hurry anymore.
