History[edit]
Eighteen motorists formed the Automobile Club of Queensland in 1905 at a meeting of 'almost all the motorists in Brisbane' which was held at the School of Arts, in Ann Street. Of the eighteen founding members, ten were medical practitioners. Their belief that 'autos' could be a reliable means for visiting patients was used to leverage a more positive image of cars in the public consciousness.[3]

Dr. George Hopkins was voted to be the President, and Dr. Charles Marks was the first Vice-President. One of the foundation members was a woman, Dr Lilian Violet Cooper, noting that the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria did not permit women to be members at that time.[4]
The club received its Royal Charter in 1921.[5] The club was formed as an advocacy group, styled after the successful Royal Automobile Club of the United Kingdom. At the time of formation there were only 16 registered privately owned motor cars in the whole of Queensland.[6]
RACQ was inducted into the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame in 2014.[7][8]

July 2015 controversy[edit]
Brad Gearon Driver Salary
In July 2015 the RACQ was the subject of a report on the Australian Channel 9 program 'A Current Affair'.[18] Reporter Tracy Grimshaw outlined how the RACQ dismissed tow truck driver Murray French for breaking a road rule when he towed a wheelchair-bound handicapped person's car on a tilt-tray tow truck while the person was still seated in the car. The event was earlier reported by the Logan Reporter[19] and BigRigs.com.au.[20] Thousands of RACQ members and the general public signed a petition calling for the RACQ to reinstate French. On 9 July there was a protest at the RACQ office asking for French's reinstatement.[21] The RACQ issued a response on their Web site disputing the information in the Channel 9 report and defending the decision to dismiss the driver.[22] In a statement the tow truck driver cited the 5 people killed on the M1 while waiting minutes in their car after RACQ had been called.[citation needed]
