- Competitor launches of similar legal-support, towing or guaranteed-response products.
- Growth in partner-network coverage, including EV-specific towing and charging support.
- Bundle the legal-assistance and roadside programme into premium or zero-depreciation motor plans rather than sell it only as a standalone add-on.
