AAA is reminding drivers not to drive home impaired on St. Patrick’s Day Weekend, and once again the AAA is is providing tow services for free throughout the weekend to help keep the roads free of impaired drivers.
AAA will take the driver and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius if the driver believes he or she is too impaired to drive.
The service is available now to 6 am Sunday, March 19.
The AAA Tow to Go program – for members and non-members is as a last defence to keep impaired drivers off the road during the holidays.
The service will be in place to help drivers who may have had too much to drink and don’t have a ride home. The AAA stresses that it should only be used as a last resort, with the service only available to one person and their vehicle.
AAA said it would dispatch a tow truck to those who call Tow To Go and take the driver and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius.
According to AAA, Tow to Go aims to remove impaired drivers from roads and get people home safely on nights when impaired driving may be more likely.
AAA has offered Tow to Go during major holidays for 25 years. During that time, they removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from the road.
The number to call is (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246.
