Under a backdrop of ever-increasing taxes and charges, RAA fought to improve petrol-selling hours in Adelaide, lobbied for the city's first major off-street parking, and battled to get the Eyre Highway sealed. It succeeded with all three, and kept an eye on other new features like parking meters, speed radar, seat belts and breathalysers. Member services continued to evolve and improve. RAA Travel Service, Driver Training, Travellers Shop and Finance Service all began in this period, while an in-house Motoring Road Rules service began the advisory service previously handled by the solicitors.
