AAA Tipsy Tow Christmas, New Year's Eve 2014: Don't Drive Drunk, Get A Free Ride Home
Don't get behind the wheel after partying hard this holiday season. With about 95 million people on the road this month, AAA is again offering to provide transportation home for people under the influence of drugs or alcohol as part of its holiday safe ride program. Members and nonmembers in certain areas of the United States are eligible for free transportation services, AAA said in a press release.
The program isn't nationwide, but several AAA clubs across the country are participating in tipsy tow: Truckers will take your vehicle -- and you -- home. The program was developed to combat the statistic that about 40 percent of accidents on Christmas and New Year's Eve are the result of drinking and driving, USA Today reported last year.
AAA recommends you designate a driver before going out, but above all the company wants you and others to stay safe this winter. Call 1-800-AAA-Help (or 1-800-222-4357) in one of these areas to be helped home. Here are AAA clubs offering the program for Christmas:
AAA Arizona -- statewide
the Auto Club Group -- statewide in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee
AAA South Dakota -- in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Mitchell and Yankton
AAA MountainWest -- Helena, East Helena, Montana City, Belgrade, Bozeman, Billings, Missoula, Livingston, Kalispell, Whitefish and Anchorage, Alaska
