Half of Australian drivers wouldn't call roadside assistance if they broke down, survey finds

Just under half of Australian drivers wouldn't call for roadside assistance if their car broke down, with a large proportion preferring to dial a partner or family member to fix the issue, a new survey has found. The July 2020 survey, conducted by comparison site Finder, asked 1007 respondents who they would call if a car problem left them stranded and only 51 per cent reported they would contact their roadside assistance service.
