AAA offers a ride for the holiday

AAA is urging Arizonans not to drive if they’ve been drinking this holiday.

“AAA wants drivers to keep safety top of mind this Independence Day, and that should include having a safe ride home if you’ve been drinking,” said Linda Gorman, director of communications and public affairs for AAA Arizona. “If your plans for a safe ride fall through, don’t get behind the wheel. Rather, call AAA’s Tipsy Tow to get you and your vehicle home.”

AAA’s Tipsy Tow service will start at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 4, and will run through 6 a.m. Sunday, July 5. Drivers, passengers, party hosts, bartenders and/or restaurant managers should:

Call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357) between 6 p.m. July 4 and 6 a.m. July 5.

State that they need a “Tipsy Tow.”

Provide the driver’s name, home address, phone number and vehicle/driver location.

Tipsy Tow provides a free 10-mile tow and ride home. For mileage beyond this, motorists are charged a standard towing rate. The service does not include roadside assistance.
