I am thinking of using Green Flag - is anyone with them, or what are all the others like?
Roadside Assistance.
Only ever been with the RAC and despite my comments in 'what pisses you off' they have been very good.
I have actually only used them twice in 20 years but they were brilliant both times.
First time was when a woman ran in to the back of me at traffic lights - silly cow was putting her make-up on. She punctured both my back tyres and smashed the back of my car and windows in.
They took me to a garage where I was given a courtesy car while they fixed it.
Second time was when everything cut out on the motorway. Engine stopped, electronic display went dead and I was lucky that I could coast onto the hard shoulder. They towed me all the way home (about 100 miles) and he advised me it was a known problem (an electronic card) and how to replace it. He took me to a dealers on the way and I bought the part. He fitted it when I got home.
See my other reply. Yes - good!

That's the one for me then. 
How many miles does the average UK driver cover in a year? I'm surprised that people would need a roadside assistance plan. I've probably driven at least half a million miles and I've had two flat tires and one instance where my vehicle stopped running (broken timing belt.)

For a hunk like yourself maybe it's no issue but for those drivers in mini-skirt and skimpy blouse then of course there are certain considerations such as what if I break down late at night on a deserted bit of road? Thus Hercules may be concerned accordingly...

Do you mind! Hot pants and boob tube - a "lady" likes to look nice when "she" is out on the razzle. I remember you were quite happy to fork out £20 for that good time you naughty boy.

Mileage doesn't always come into it, as you will find out when you become an old fart like me. It never occurred to me when I was younger, but now what with possible heart problems and hip pain, I now need someone to maybe even change the wheel on the car if I was stuck on say a motorway.
Having now retired I do very little driving, but roadside assistance would be invaluable.

You're right Herc and in my case I also need bedside assistance from my butler re (for example) bending down to get the 'en suite' positioned; and in the bathroom he has to squeeze the toothpaste when the tube is getting towards the end as I just can't manage it. The perils of turning ..er.. 40 or so..
