One of the most popular reasons for calling out that breakdown cover man is because you have locked yourself out of your car. You can see you keys dangling from the dashboard and of course you have somewhere to go now, or in fact you are stuck somewhere away from home.

Unless you are or know professional car thief, how do you get in without smashing a window. This RAC roadside advert shows in 16 or seconds how it could easily happen to you. And bearing in maind that a years policy can be cheaper than a tabk of petrol, it makes you wonder why this type of service is not just a statutory purchase.
