I been a member of the N.R.M.A. for 47 years, and though I used them occasionally for things such as flat battery and rain shorting out the ignition (when these things happened), my calls upon them were infrequent.
But...travelled away from
home my TD5 blew a transmission hose 70 km east of
Wilcannia. I was towing my van.
The N.R.M.A. arranged accommodation for my wife and two grandkids at
Wilcannia, and trucked the Landy and at the same time towed my van
home.
This cost me nothing, just time, a thing I now have plenty of.
Even though my current vehicle is covered by
Roadside Assist, I continue to fork out each year for the N.R.M.A. as if my van has a mechanical problem they'll sort things out.
Look, you could drive around for years and nothing happens, then one day Murphy strikes.
