The Royal Automobile Association of South Australia, also known simply as ''RAA'', is a South Australian automobile club providing a range of member services including: 24-hour emergency breakdown, vehicle inspection, motoring advocacy, road safety, legal services, technical advice, travel services, security, tour planning, accommodation booking and also a subsidiary insurance company. RAA services operate on a break-even basis and the organisation looks to generate a profit through its commercial and investment activities. RAA began as The Automobile and Motor Cycling Club of South Australia in 1903, and by 1904 amended its name by deleting the words ‘Motor Cycling’. In 1911 the club was reconstituted as an Association, and in 1928 received its Royal patronage. In 1959 the association changed its logo from AA of SA to RAA.〔(The History of RAA Badges )〕 The head office of the Royal Automobile Association is located at the north-eastern corner of the South Road- Richmond Road intersection, in the Adelaide suburb of Mile End South. Originally, the head office was located in Hindmarsh Square in the Adelaide central business district. RAA has branch offices located throughout the Adelaide metropolitan area, as well as in South Australian regional centres. ==Road service== RAA offers several membership types, including Premium, Plus, Standard and Fleet Membership.〔(RAA Membership entitlements )〕 RAA benefits are not restricted to South Australia. Members have access to affiliate organisations interstate and overseas including RACV, RACQ, RACWA, RACT, NRMA and AANT. RAA patrols respond to over 600,000 calls for emergency roadside assistance each year, with over 90% of problems fixed at the roadside. The primary aim of the patrol is to get vehicles going again. If that is not possible, RAA will organise for the vehicles to be towed.〔(RAA Membership - Road Service )〕 RAA Premium & Plus members are entitled to an unlimited number of calls for roadside assistance and Standard members are allowed eight calls per year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Automobile Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
