>7 - THE AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
Originally, a group of motoring enthusiasts met at the Trocadero restaurant
in London's West End to form the Automobile Association -- a body initially
intended to help motorists avoid police speed traps. As motoring became
more popular, so did the AA -- 100 members in 1905 grew to 83,000 by 1914.
The AA Roadwatch, Europe's biggest traffic broadcaster, came into being in
1973 with the advent of commercial radio in the UK. Fast and accurate collation
of road and traffic information is universally recognised as key to the future of
motoring, and in 1997, the AA won the first telematics contract in the UK to
provide in-car breakdown, route-guidance, accident and traffic information.
In 1992, the AA Driving School was launched. It is the only national body to
employ fully qualified instructors and today employs more than 1,000 franchises.
In November 1994 AA membership reached a record 8 million. Today it stands
at 9.5 million, of whom 4.4 million are personal members.
