AAA offers free rides, tows for impaired drivers 4th of July weekend

GEORGIA — AAA wants to let drivers know that its “Tow to Go” program will be active this Fourth of July holiday weekend in Georgia.

The auto club said the free and confidential service provides drivers who are impaired a safe ride home for them and their vehicle.

From 6 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday, you can call 855-2-TOW-2-GO (855-286-9246) and receive a tow within 10 miles.

The program is open to everyone, whether or not you’re an AAA member.

“By providing Tow to Go, AAA ensures there’s no reason to risk driving impaired,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA. “Make a plan in advance, but if circumstances change, we’re here as a safety net to help you reach home safely.”

Rides and tows can’t be scheduled in advance. The program is for last-minute situations.

Since the launch of the program more than 25 years ago, Tow to Go has removed nearly 30,000 impaired drivers from the road.
