Starting Friday December 23rd and running until Monday, January 2nd, AAA says its Tow to Go program will be in place. Officials say they’ve offering Tow to Go during major holidays for nearly 25 years. During that time, AAA has removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from the road.
A news release says nationwide, AAA expects this to be the third-busiest year for holiday travel on the roads in history. Crash data from NHTSA says that combining cocktails with crowded roads can be deadly. Their data shows that from Christmas to New Year’s in 2020, there were 209 drunk-driving related fatalities nationwide.
Adrienne Woodland, spokeswoman, AAA – The Auto Club Group says quote, “The greatest gift you can give this holiday season is your presence, so be sure to plan for a safe ride home before the celebrations begin.” End quote.
AAA says their service should be treated as a last resort. You can call 855-2-TOW-2-GO if needed.
