‘Tipsy Tow’ rides available New Year’s Eve

MEDIA RELEASE

Statistics show traffic-related fatalities increase significantly around the holidays. As such, AAA Hawaii sponsors a complimentary Tipsy Tow on New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July, which offers free rides to drivers who have been drinking.

Avoid becoming a statistic, and help guests stay safe by following these tips:

* Ensure that all guests have a ride to and from their destination in a car driven by a non-drinking designated driver

* Plan activities that take the focus away from drinking, and make non-alcoholic beverages readily available

* Serve high-protein snacks to slow down alcohol absorption
Stop serving alcohol at least 90 minutes before a party ends, and serve guests coffee or dessert

* Take car keys from intoxicated guests who plan to drive home

Tipsy Tow service provides a complimentary ride and vehicle tow up to five miles from the point of pickup to drivers who have consumed alcohol on New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July. Tipsy Tow service is available to members and non-members.

Ask for a Tipsy Tow by calling 1-800-AAA-HELP (222-4357).
