Road Safety Initiatives

GEM's registered Road Safety Charity funds the organisations campaigning and Road Safety activities. Many schemes and research projects have been supported by the GEM Motoring Assist Road Safety Charity over many years. These have included research into what the nation's Road Safety targets beyond 2010 should be, and schemes aimed at improving the safety of inexperienced drivers and motorcyclists.

Club Membership

Breakdown cover is only available to Club members. Club membership is included in the annual subscription to any of GEM Motoring Assist's Breakdown Services. Benefits include a lively quarterly magazine, Good Motoring; free Road Safety and motoring advice, a wide range of information leaflets and discounts on many services such as: insurance, vehicle inspections, airport parking and many others. GEM members also benefit from a free Accident Management Service' which will take all the strain out of managing the whole claim process should they be involved in a road crash, whether they are to blame or not. The scheme allows members to decline the additionally and costly legal expenses insurances offered with most motor insurance policies. Club Membership is also open to motorists not requiring Breakdown Cover.

In addition, members have a voice on Road Safety and motoring matters through the organisation's membership of The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) and The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) National Safety Committee.
