My son was in a fender bender (his fault) the other day. Thankfully, and most importantly, he and everyone involved are fine. Not too sure about the state of the car though; waiting for the insurance person to give their verdict. Gulp.
Out touring the Llyn Peninsular and what should we come across by a rare black AA call box, this one numbered 580 for the village of Boduan between on a A487 between Pwllheli and Morfa Nefyn.
As a callbox providing telecommunications services, this for me classes as a Red Box project subject.

In the olden days, before portable telephoning machines were invented, if you broke down in the middle of nowhere... chances were that you'd never be seen or heard from again.
A 1962 Norton ES2 fitted with a Watsonian RAC sidecar combination, once used as a patrol motorcycle by the Royal Automobile Club. Reliable and practical, these machines were a familiar sight on British roads, providing roadside assistance and support to stranded motorists. A fine example of classic British engineering and motoring heritage.

"19 June 1905. A small group of motoring enthusiasts band together to warn fellow drivers about speed traps."
They opt to call themselves the Motorists' Mutual Association.
In response to the zealous police enforcement of driving restrictions, the group organised teams of cyclists who, through a combination of signals and salutes, assisted drivers to stay safe on the roads and avoid punitive penalties.
A month later, as the group established an enthusiastic following among the motoring community, they settled upon a new name (and it was a real keeper). The Automobile Association.

Oxford Bus Museum & Morris Motors Museum
The bus museum has its origins in the Oxford Bus Preservation Syndicate, which was set up in 1967 by a group of bus enthusiasts.
They had the foresight to see that buses and coaches of significance to previous generations should be saved and preserved for future generations to enjoy before they were lost for all time.
Beginning with just one vehicle, the number of preserved and restored vehicles has grown, and the museum now contains around 40 vintage buses and coaches, including a number of unique vehicles, the earliest dating from 1913.

Morris Motors Museum
The museum traces the development of the Nuffield empire, founded by William Morris (who became Lord Nuffield), which grew from humble beginnings in a bicycle workshop to become one of the world’s major vehicle manufacturers.
The museum has a collection of eleven cars and one van built by Morris Motors and other Nuffield Organisation companies and their successors.
They range in age from a 1928 Morris Oxford bullnose to a 1977 BMC Mini. The collection also includes a Z-type van and a Nuffield tractor.
The link between William Morris, founder of Morris Motors and buses in Oxford, can be traced to 1913 when he and a partner started the first motorbus service in the city.

Photographed in Wisconsin, this heavy duty sleeper cab semi recovery truck has the wrecker body attached directly to its 5th wheel. The first truly aerodynamic big rig, the Kenworth T600 was introduced in 1985 and produced through 2007 after which it was replaced by their T660 model.

Since Keen Transport Inc. hauls oversized loads, the company must make specific arrangements as to where and when it can haul, usually limited to daylight hours. When the company has a roadside issue, representatives at the PACCAR Customer Center are able to quickly respond and offer solutions that don’t require the company to break the terms of its hauling permit.
I don't know what's going on over there... looks like it might be a tricky problem, or they were running a 2 for 1 service truck deal at the time?

Luckily no more time was wasted, and the patient is now on his way to MBTC.
Hopefully, he wasn't down too long before the officer arrived, and help arrived in time.

Late for work, afraid to stop on a busy street, wary of strangers...
Sooner or later, you would hope a passerby could at least call 911 while driving by.
Then again, you don't want to get stopped for using your phone while driving, so, maybe just check the news feed later to see what happened and if the poor guy made it?
