Tipsy Towing
New Year's Eve is coming up fast — how did that happen?
The Auto Club of Southern California is doing its part to keep the roads safe by offering its "Tipsy Tow" service from 6 pm Friday through the end of the day on Sunday, January 1.
From the AAA press release:
Motorists, bartenders, restaurant managers, party hosts or passengers of a drinking driver may call 1-800-400-4AAA for a free tow home of up to seven miles. Callers simply tell the Auto Club operators, "I need a Tipsy Tow," to receive the free tow and ride home. A regular Auto Club-contracted emergency road service truck will be dispatched.
"We want motorists to be aware of the high crash risk from drinking and driving associated with holidays and encourage them to think twice about getting behind the wheel if they have been drinking," Auto Club spokesperson Carol Thorp said.
What a great service! I'm going to put that number in my pocket right now — not that I'll need it, of course, but just in case I actually get invited out for New Year's Eve this year.
If you're hosting a party this year, check around in your area to see if your local AAA is offering a similar service. I did a quick Google search for "Tipsy Tow," and I got thousands of results.
There's no better way to show your friends that you care than by making sure that they get home safely from your party.
