Running on a full tank
It’s dusk and you’re driving along a country road in Blenheim when suddenly your beat-up but faithful Holden ute breaks down. You’re clueless: Battery? Transmission? You want to kick yourself for not getting it tuned up as you’d planned to do prior to the trip. Somehow, you never quite got round to it. You whip out your mobile phone and call the New Zealand Automobile Association for help …But what if you have to wait in a queue for 10 minutes because the operators are busy with similar requests for help?
After all, it’s a Labour Day weekend and half of the country’s population are out for a drive. Many others like you are off the beaten track and requesting roadside assistance.
