I recently received a letter from a rival motoring organisation claiming to offer me better and cheaper breakdown assistance. I have been an AA member for 12 years, and I am angry that my details have been passed on to another organisation, even one that claims it can get to me 20 minutes faster than the AA if I break down. - Letter in AA Members Magazine (Francis Harvey)
