There\u2019s a significant uptick in drunk driving around St. Patrick\u2019s Day every year. Is it a surprise? No. Is it sobering, yes. Fortunately, there\u2019s a way to help keep folks off the road.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

In my previous life, I worked in marketing for AAA. It was a great job, but it kept some pretty dire statistics at the top of my mind. For example, collision numbers spike due to \u201cdrowsy driving\u201d after the switch to Daylight Saving Time. I think we all felt that this week.<\/p>\n

Another unfortunate stat is the significant uptick in drunk driving around St. Patrick\u2019s Day<\/strong><\/a>. Is it a surprise? No. Is it sobering, yes. Fortunately, they have a way to help keep folks off the road.<\/p>\n

AAA Tow to Go<\/h2>\n

AAA\u00a0is activating \u2018Tow to Go\u2019 for the upcoming\u00a0St.\u00a0Patrick\u2019s\u00a0Day\u00a0weekend in hopes that partygoers do not press their luck by driving impaired.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong>\u00a0When someone calls Tow to Go,\u00a0AAA dispatches a tow truck to transport the would-be impaired driver and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius<\/em>. Since its inception, this life-saving program has removed more than 30,000 impaired drivers from the road. The service is free for anyone, yet\u00a0AAA asks that it be treated as a last resort.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tow to Go is available in FL, GA, IA, MI, ND, NE, TN, WI, CO (Denver), NC (Charlotte), IN (Fort Wayne\/South Bend). Just call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re proud to be that last line of defense, keeping people from driving impaired. We also remain committed to educating the public that it\u2019s important to find a safe ride before drinking alcohol or taking drugs. This is critical so motorists are not in the position of having to decide if they\u2019re sober enough to drive.<\/p>\n
