This article seems quite supportive of the AA. It campaigns heavily for motor road users, which obviously is a contentious issue. I've not got any references about this: Was expecting the wiki page to mention it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.24.170 (talk) 14:55, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I concur. Their attitude is that driving is the British way of getting round, and anything that is an obstacle should be opposed -road improvements are the only sensible investment in transport. This is why many other road user groups are anti-AA. As an example, consider their press release and analysis on congestion of july 6, 2009, which doesn't reach the conclusion that increased fuel costs can change people's behaviour. Instead it concludes the government should invest more in roads: http://www.theaa.com/public_affairs/reports/congestion-report.html
From the article, the AA's president Edmund King said "The motor vehicle is an integral part of British culture we rely on - whether getting to work, taking the kids to school or delivering goods.". The obvious implication that those of us who cycle to work or walk the kids to school are un-British. SteveLoughran (talk) 19:12, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is very supportive of The AA and not particularly neutral. Is it not a bit dubious the fact there is a link directly to the companies website, surely this falls under the section stating Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not an advertsing tool, meaning it should not allowed to be listed. Also why is it seen as having any noteabitliy compared to hundreds of other companies who are not allowed to be listed on Wikipedia, what makes The AA any different? I hope my views are taken into account.
