LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
Labor Day weekend is here, and AAA is offering its Tipsy Tow program to drinking drivers and their vehicles.
The service will provide a free, one-way ride for the driver and vehicle to the driver's home, up to 10 miles, and it is open to the community.
The Tipsy Tow program operates from 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 3 through 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 4.
The service is available on 10 different holidays and special events.
AAA is offering the following tips to keep our roadways safe this Labor Day weekend:
- Drive only while drug and alcohol-free
- Plan ahead and designate a non-drinking driver before a celebration begins
- Don't let your friends drive impaired. Take their keys away
- Never ride in a car with someone who is impaired
- Plan to take a cab or stay with a friend
Drivers, potential passengers, party hosts, bartenders and restaurant managers can take advantage of the program by calling (1) 800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP) for a free tow home. Just tell the operator, "I need a Tipsy Tow."
