The AA motoring
organisation was founded in 1905, millions of members make the AA
by far the largest motoring organisation, with more dedicated patrols
than anyone else. Today the AA provide services not only to get
you safely from A to B, but also to help organise your finances
and even buy a new or second-hand car. The AA really can offer you
everything you need. The AA and The AA Motoring Trust also provide
expert knowledge and advice on transport issues, which are respected
by AA members, the public, safety experts and the Government.
In 1905 a group
of motoring enthusiasts met at the Trocadero restaurant in London's
West End on 29 June to form the Automobile Association, a body initially
intended to help motorists avoid police speed traps. In 1906 the
AA began erecting the country's first effective danger and warning
signs and in 1909 the AA introduced a free legal system for drivers
summoned to appear in magistrates courts. From 1912 the AA also
started inspecting hotels and introduced the first AA routes and
guides. The AA have lead a number of major campaigns, including
the compulsory wearing of seatbelts and the introduction of lead-free
petrol, in recent years the AA have lobbied successive governments
over unfair motoring taxes and the lack of investment in transport.
The AA Insurance broking service started in 1967, today the AA sells
home, travel and other specialist cover and is the UK's largest
home and car insurance broker. Loans and instalment payment facilities
are available to members and customers through AA Financial Services.
AA Roadwatch started in 1973 to provide fast and accurate collation
of road and traffic information.During the 1990s the AA produced
a growing range of maps, atlases and travel guides, with almost
800 titles in partnership with overseas companies, many AA books
are now available in up to 28 languages. In 1990 the AA Driving
School started in the south of England before being launched nationally
two years later. Today all AA patrols are issued with state-of-the-art
roadside diagnostic equipment, a laptop computer allows patrols
to plug into a car's electronics to diagnose the cause of a breakdown
as well as access to the AA's wealth of technical support information
and breakdown deployment details.
