Stay Safe on St. Patrick's Day with the Tow to Go Program
Friday, March 16th, 2018 -- 7:59 AM
-With St. Patrick’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, festivals and celebrations are likely to see larger-than-normal crowds, with more vehicles and pedestrians on the roadways.AAA, in partnership with Budweiser, urges everyone to have a plan for celebrating responsibly and getting home safely from events that involve alcohol. From 2012 to 2016, 269 lives were lost in drunk-driving crashes on St. Patrick’s Day, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. For anyone who needs a safe ride home, the Tow to Go program is available from Friday, March 16 through Sunday, March 18 at 6 a.m. Some guidelines for the Tow to Go program include confidential local ride to a safe location within 10 miles; the AAA tow truck takes the vehicle and the driver home; and it’s free and available to AAA members and non-members.
Also, Tow to Go may not be available in rural areas or during severe weather conditions; visit AAA.com/TowtoGo for dates and availability throughout 2018; and if you are hosting a party, please do so responsibly. Check out the Great Pretenders Party Guide from the Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation to learn more.
