The ANWB has put up a new service: the Wegenwacht (Road Patrol). Th car mechanics in ANWB uniform drive around on Harley-Davidson motorcycles with sidecar. They have tools with them to help motorists with car trouble. SHOTS: - six patrollers pass a roundabout in The Hague; - patroller patrols on the expressway; sees a stranded couple standing by the side of the road and helps them with their car troubles; - the woman of the couple sits aside and does her make-up whilst sitting on a kilometre marker and smokes a cigarette while the two men deal with the technical problem underneath the bonnet.
