St. Patrick's Day sober rides: AAA offers Tow To Go this holiday weekend
DETROIT (FOX 2) - If you'll be indulging in green beer or Guinness to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, be sure you have a safe, sober ride home.
Fail to plan ahead? That doesn't mean you should get behind the wheel while drunk. Instead, contact AAA's Tow To Go service. You can use Tow To Go even if you are not an AAA customer.
It is designed as a confidential service for people who did not plan ahead and designate a sober driver, so appointments cannot be booked in advance. The service will take you home and tow your vehicle home or somewhere within 10 miles.
The service is considered to be a last resort if there's no other way home, such as Uber or Lyft.
