Sir I want to know about the National Roads and Motorists' Association NRMA so can you please tell me the same

[Kiran Chandar]

Hey The National Roads and Motorists' Association, known as NRMA Motoring and Services, is a member-owned mutual organisation offering roadside assistance, motoring advice, International Driving Permits, travel and other services in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

The NRMA's membership was growing rapidly, nearly doubling to 7637 in the year to June 1925. An added incentive was NRMA Insurance, formed in 1925 and reestablished in 1926 as a private mutual company.

By becoming a sub-agency of Lloyd's of London, NRMA Insurance was able to offer household policies in addition to motoring insurance

John Christian Watson (Australia's third Prime Minister in 1904), became NRMA President in 1920 until his death in 1941. The NRA restructured as the National Roads and Motorists' Association at the beginning of 1924.
