Impaired drivers traditionally make Independence Day weekend one of the most dangerous times to be on the road. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 512 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes over the 2013 holiday weekend. 39 percent of those fatalities involved at least one impaired driver. “This weekend will be a great time to celebrate with friends and family,” said Amy Stracke, Executive Director, Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation. “Please plan ahead to make sure all of your loved ones get home safely.”
Whether you are a AAA member or not, you can call for a Tow to Go ride anytime Friday, July 3rd through 6 a.m. on Monday, July 6th. AAA will then safely transport you and your vehicle home or somewhere safe within 10 miles. The service is designed to be used as a last resort and is offered based on the availability of AAA drivers and tow trucks.
“The Tow to Go program is an effective way to promote the use of Designated Drivers and help prevent impaired driving,” said Kathy Casso, Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility for Anheuser-Busch. “We are proud to partner with AAA and their roadside assistance drivers to help keep our roads safe.”
Since its inception in 1998, Tow to Go has safely removed more than 24,000 impaired drivers from roads across the Southeast. The Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation provides the Tow to Go service because it helps keep all motorists safe from the dangers of drunk driving.
