- The AA Story. In the early 1900s, motoring was a relatively new and exciting mode of transport, but it was also fraught with challenges. Roads were often poor, and there was a lack of infrastructure to support the growing number of cars. To address these issues, a group of motoring enthusiasts came together in 1905 to form the AA.
The AA’s original mission was to help motorists avoid police speed traps. The Motor Car Act of 1903 had introduced new penalties for breaking the speed limit, and motorists were eager to find ways to navigate the roads safely and legally. The AA’s network of patrolmen helped to keep drivers informed about speed traps, reducing the risk of fines and penalties.
- In the 1930s, the AA’s services were further enhanced with the introduction of its breakdown patrol cars. These mobile units were equipped to provide roadside assistance to motorists who had experienced mechanical problems. The AA’s breakdown service quickly became a lifeline for drivers across the UK, and it remains one of the organization’s most popular offerings today.
