AAA and motorist rights

The AAA has weighed in over the years on numerous issues impacting motorists.

The AAA is known for occasional high profile motorist advisories of traffic enforcement, such as when it rented a billboard to warn motorists of the speed trap town of Lawtey, Florida. It also is a supporter of the Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act, first introduced in 2001 but which has not become law.

Additionally, the AAA supported measures that tax motorists -- with the goal of strengthening infrastructure and highway maintenance -- as well as supported measures that make the roadways safer for all motorists:

• Virginia's now-repealed traffic citation tax because of its revenue generation potential.
• The federal 55 mph speed limit
• Opposing a 70 mph speed limit on Illinois rural freeways even though the roads can safely accommodate that speed.
• Supporting red light cameras.
• Lobbied in favor of speed cameras in Maryland in 2002,^[47] several years before they were actually authorized. Provisionally supporting the expansion of speed cameras in Maryland in 2009,^[48] and opposing the repeal of speed cameras in Maryland in 2013.^[49]
• Lobbied in favor of authorizing speed cameras in Indiana.
• Supporting an increase in the federal gas tax, and supporting gas tax increases at the state level such as in Virginia in 2012.
• Opposing Illinois increasing its rural speed limit from 65 to 70 mph.
