I can't believe that they won't give breakdown cover to you if you are 80 or over.
Do they think you are more capable of fixing your own car at the side of the road?
I would say that older drivers are the most likely to have their cars regularly serviced by a garage and the most likely to need help if they breakdown.
It's blatant ageism.

A scathing email has been sent to Green Flag but I don't expect to hear back from them... Oh and my father has now renewed his cover with the AA.
That's bad news for your dad.

Perhaps they should change their advertisement to;
"we might not be the biggest breakdown service, but by jingo be aim to be the [most discriminative]"
