in respect of actions at law, either civil or criminal, in connection with the use of these vehicles, and, if deemed expedient by the Executive Committee, to render assistance.
(c) To give information and advice, and generally to protect and extend the rights and privileges of users of these vehicles.
(rf) To originate and from time to time promote improvements in the laws and regulations directly or indirectly affecting self-propelled vehicular and locomotive road traffic, and to support or oppose alterations in such laws and regulations.
(e) To represent the views of members before Parliament and the Government Departments.
(f) To collect and circulate to the members any information respecting the use of such vehicles likely to be of service to them.
(g) To popularise and assist the development of self-propelled vehicular and locomotive road traffic.
(h) To take any action or to do anything that the Executive Committee may consider desirable in the interests of users of these vehicles.
(i) To furnish to each member a copy of the Automobile Club Journal weekly.
j) To keep a register of drivers of these vehicles for purposes of employment.
