More than one in five consumers (21%) said they rarely or never use a designated driver while away from home and drinking, according to a recent AAA Consumer Pulse™ Survey. AAA and Bud Light strongly encourage motorists to plan ahead before they celebrate Independence Day.
“If you are going to go out and drink this holiday weekend, having a designated driver is a great way to celebrate safely and avoid impaired driving,” said Gerry Gutowski, senior vice president of Automotive Services for the Auto Club Group. “However, we also offer Tow to Go as a last resort for those who need a safe ride home.”
Whether you are a AAA member or not, you can call for a Tow to Go ride anytime this weekend, July 4-6. AAA will then safely transport you and your vehicle home or somewhere safe within 10 miles.
“The Tow to Go program is an effective way to promote the use of designated drivers and help prevent drunk driving,” said Kathy Casso, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility for Anheuser-Busch. “We are proud to partner with AAA and their roadside assistance drivers to help keep our roads safe.”
Since its inception in 1998, Tow to Go has safely removed more than 23,000 intoxicated drivers from the roads. The service is designed to be used as a last resort. It is offered based on availability of AAA drivers and tow trucks during times of high call volume. The Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation provides the Tow to Go service because it allows AAA to protect the freedom and mobility of motorists on our roadways.
