It's New Year's Eve, and you may be heading out to have some fun tonight! In all the celebrating and partying to bring in the New Year, you may not be feeling like you are able to drive yourself home. At least I hope you would realize that you aren't feeling well.
Whether you have been drinking, or are just feeling too tired to drive home (drowsy driving is sometimes even worse than driving under the influence!), AAA has offered Utah drivers and alternative to getting behind the wheel.
All you need to do is call 800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP) and ask for a "Tipsy Tow" from 6:00 p.m. December 31st – 6:00 a.m. January 1st. They will transport you and your car back to your house completely free of charge. You don't even need to be a AAA member!
They also offer this service on Super Bowl Sunday and St. Patrick's Day (check out their whole list of holiday's here)
So feel free to ring in the New Year, but remember to be safe! There are options besides getting behind the wheel while you are impaired.
One of your New Year's Resolutions should be to never drive while impaired, whether it is from being too tired to be on the road, or from having a little too much to drink.
AAA offers the following tips to stay safe and keep others safe on the roads:
- 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
