AAA to Offer Free Tows to Tipsy Drivers on Memorial Day

AAA is offering free "Tipsy Tow" services to celebrants this Monday for the Memorial Day holiday.

The service will run from 6 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday and is available to anyone, not just AAA members.

"If your plans involve alcohol, plan ahead for a safe ride home," AAA Northern California spokesman Mike Blasky said in a statement. "If those plans fall through, please don't get behind the wheel. Call AAA and we'll get you home safely."

Drivers, passengers, party hosts, bartenders and restaurant managers can call (800) AAA-HELP (222-4357) and provide the driver's name, home address, phone number and their pick-up location.

AAA will send out a tow truck and give the driver, the driver's vehicle and one passenger a free 10-mile tow and ride home. For distances beyond 10 miles, a standard towing rate will apply.
