When the 2 largest breakdown cover providers the RAC and AA where taken over by insurance companies as a change of the times, charity foundations were created to continue the road safety issues that these motoring clubs would originally support.
The most common reason for a breakdown is a flat battery which is more common during the wet winter months. To prevent a callout from the online more than breakdown recovery patrolman, why not have your battery checked normally free of charge from certain car accessory shops.
Many websites not only sell online more than breakdown recovery but have useful route planners on their websites. Just enter your current postcode and the post code you are travelling to and the website will calculate the distance and the approximate time to get there. You can print this information off to take with you, so you do not get lost.
Another common reason for call outs for your friendly breakdown cover patrolman is a flat tyre. Have you checked your car recently to see if you have a spare tyre, it is blown up and is legal? Do not forget to check for the jack also and will you have access to it should you get a puncture. Some modern cars do not have a space for a spare tyre so do you have a compressed tyre repair system in your boot?
Do you have your breakdown cover service provider’s emergency phone number stored in your phone with your membership number? Imagine breaking down and not being able to contact anyone because you failed to do this. Be prepared it can happen to anyone at anytime in any place.
