reports in a similar way to the service offered by the AA. Could you give me any information about this?
A The Post Office does provide a 24-hour ir-• motoring information service. By dialling the Post Office—the numbers and details are in the first few pages of any telephone directory—a report of road conditions end possible traffic hazards within a 50-mile radius of 15 cities and major towns can be heard.
The reports are supplied by the local AA office every 24 hours and are recorded on tape by Post Office staff. If a sudden fog or a serious accident causes danger or congestion in the area during the 24-hour period, fresh reports are fed to the tapes.
The Post Office has plans to provide subscribers with a handy reference card to the service which drivers can carry with them or keep in their vehicle.
