Towing with a motorhome

[treessavoy]

I live in Florida and you know who else lives here....that's right more people over 70 than any other state plus we have the Snowbirds who leave the North and drive their motor homes south for the winter, so I am more familiar with this situation than most.

But, I'm going to play Devils advocate.
I guarantee 18 wheeler's are involved in more accidents than 72 year old men in motor homes but I hear no outcry about them. One horrible accident should not dictate a change in policy for those drivers. Someday we will all be that age and how many of you want to have to walk because you have no license?
If you look at the stats you will find that teenagers have more accidents that any other age group but I hear no calls to raise the age limit so that they may mature more before driving. I've come closer to being killed or injured by little girls on cell phones than I have but those older than me.

This accident was horrible and my heart goes out to the family.

I guarantee you, per million miles driven, professional truck drivers are the safest drivers on the road.
