Between worrying when she is 5 minutes late and resisting the urge to ring the hospital to make sure she hasn't been in an accident every half hour, there is the added concern of her financial commitments. It's just not the car payments, insurance, registration and the cost of peterol but also the cost of her being stranded, broken down or as luck would have it today locking her only key in the car!
We all know that having roadside assistance can be very useful in these situations, however the young girl in question has only been driving 2 days and needless to say we haven't got around to getting her roadside assistance. So now my dear girl is parting with some hard earned cash for a locksmith to come out and break into her car so she can resume her driving activities!
Needless to say I dropped everything and rang the NRMA Roadside Assist to look into a membership for her and was quite prepared to part with some hard earned cash of my own. However I was pleasantly suprised to find out they have a new initiative called Free2go, which is designed for young drivers aged 16-20 and is completely free for the first year.
It offers roadside assistance to the young person, no matter who's car they are driving - an added bonus for when she borrows someone else's car! It takes 48 hours to activate the membership after joining but once it is activated they have all the benefits of an adult member no matter which vehicle they are driving.
