Tipsy Tow On Call Tonight – Get a Free Ride Home

Posted on May 5, 2014 | Leave a comment

bud-light-tow-to-go

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila–stop–AAA and Bud Light want you to party responsibly by not getting behind the wheel on Cinco de Mayo.

Triple A and Bud Light are offering the Tow to Go program to help discourage margarita-drinkers from driving intoxicated on Monday.

The “Tipsy Tow” program offers a confidential ride home, within a 10-mile radius, and tow – both free of charge.

The Tipsy Tow program is open to everyone. You do not need to be an AAA Member to take advantage of this service to the community.

AAA typically offers the service to drinking drivers from 6 p.m. on the holiday to 6 a.m. the following day in Northern California, Nevada and Utah. For specific dates and times, see the list below.

During the period Tipsy Tow is available, drivers, potential passengers, party hosts, bartenders, and restaurant managers can call 800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP) for a free tow home of up to ten miles. Just tell the AAA operator, “I need a Tipsy Tow,” and a truck will be on its way.

The service will provide a one-way ride for the driver and vehicle to the driver’s home. If there are additional passengers who need a ride, they will be taken to the driver’s home as long is there is sufficient room for them to be transported safely in the tow truck. You cannot make a reservation.

AAA provides its Tipsy Tow service for the following holidays:

Independence Day: 6:00 p.m. July 4th – 6:00 a.m. July 5th
Halloween: 6:00 p.m. October 31st – 6:00 a.m. November 1st

Triple-A says since its inception in 1998, ‘Tipsy Tow’ has kept more than 23,000 drunk drivers off the roads and saved twice as many lives since it was designed to protect everyone on the roads, not just the intoxicated driver.

Today is International Star Wars Day and time for you to embrace the dork side!

So how are you planning on celebrating Star Wars Day? An 18 hour movie marathon? Dressing up in your favorite Star Wars garb? What’s your favorite movie? Character? Side?

Whatever you do don’t party too hard or you might have to deal with the Revenge of the Fifth.

May the Fourth be with you. Always.
