April 1st in many cultures is the day where pranks are played joyfully across the media. The UK is no exception and somewhere, someone in a public relations department has had a lot of fun. UK car breakdown service, the AA has announced the launch of a 'rapid response' service aimed at reaching stranded motorists no matter how bad the traffic. Rescue service members are being fitted with lightweight jetpacks in order to rocket to their rescue high above the traffic jams. The AA has been secretly trialling these packs at a private aerodrome in order to launch them on April 1st, the first day of the annual Easter weekend getaway. Early tests have given some promising results thus giving them the confidence to do a full test on the M25 today between the magic hours of dawn to noon. For as we all know, any prank after noon backfires. Lets hope this doesn't happen to George the mechanic. If you wish to see footage of early trials, click on the following link. You might have to wait a few seconds for the pop up video but it's worth it. Enjoy.
