AAA offers free tows during St. Patrick’s Day Holiday

AAA is offering a free tow to prevent impaired driving during the St. Patrick’s Day holiday this year, a day that generally sees a lot of alcohol consumption.
As the St. Patrick’s Day holiday falls on a weekend this year, AAA is activating its “Tow to Go” program from 6 p.m. Friday, March 15th to 6 a.m. Monday, March 18th.
When someone calls Tow to Go, AAA dispatches a tow truck to transport the impaired driver and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius. The service is free for anyone, but AAA asks that it be treated as a last resort, saying it be used for instances where a person hadn’t anticipated drinking and therefore was unable to make prior arrangements to getting a safe ride home.
To activate the tow program, drivers are asked to call a special phone number which is (855) 286-9246. (855) 2-tow-2-go
