MIAMI (CBSMiami) - In an effort to keep drunk drivers off the road over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the AAA Auto Club has teamed up with Bud Light for their 'Tow to Go' program which offers a confidential ride home and tow – both free of charge.
You don't even have to be a AAA member.
The Tow to Go program will provide safe rides home to intoxicated drivers Wednesday, November 26th – Saturday, November 29th.
According to a recent AAA survey, one out of five people say they have never used a designated driver when they've been drinking away from home.
"The Tow to Go program is a very effective way to promote the use of designated drivers and help prevent drunk driving," said Kathy Casso, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility for Anheuser-Busch. "We are very thankful 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 23,000 impaired drivers from the roads.
Important Tow To Go Guidelines:
- It's a confidential local ride within a 10-mile radius to a safe location
- You can't make an appointment to use the Tow to Go service, it is designed to be used as a last resort so have a designated driver before you have your first drink.
- If a person is too intoxicated to be safely transported in a tow truck, AAA may need to contact law enforcement to assist with getting the intoxicated individual a safe ride home.
- The AAA tow truck takes the vehicle and driver home or to a safe place within 10 miles.
The number to call is (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246.
