GEM? Just googled it - Guild of Experienced Motorists? Who, what, why, where? I'm intrigued, never heard of them.
Used to be know as the CVM (Company of Veteran Motorists) which was a motoring club for the aspiring motorist in the 50's and 60's my dad was a member for many years and used to have a big V badge on his car. He even had a badge bar. Each year they would send a small plastic disc with the drivers years of experience. I remember it was knocking on 50 when he was chucked out after being done for careless driving that resulted in a collision. Now they let anyone in, hence I joined. GEM has come along since. I got a pretty large discount for being a RoSPA Advanced driver It saved about £60, The breakdown cover is apparently highly rated so there are three of us covered for any car, even if a passenger - costs about £130 which I think is good value. Lots of other stuff and a magazine a few times a year which is quite readable. The expert seemed to know his stuff and we had a long and interesting chat about the benefits and dangers of adding a catch can with atmospheric vent. I have decided to pass on that for the time being!
