AAA OFFERING TIPSY TOW FOR THOSE CELEBRATING INDEPENDENCE DAY

CLOVIS (KSMX)- AAA New Mexico encourages everyone, who is of legal drinking age and plans to have alcoholic beverages to celebrate this weekend, to designate a non-drinking driver. AAA New Mexico will offer a free community service called Tipsy Tow which aims to keep drinking drivers off the road. The service will be available statewide from 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, through 6:00 a.m. on Friday (July 5).

Drivers, bartenders, restaurant managers, party hosts or passengers of a drinking driver may call 1-800-222-4357 or 1-800-AAA-HELP for a free tow home of up to 10 miles. Callers simply request a Tipsy Tow and will receive the free tow and ride home. A regular AAA New Mexico-contracted roadside service truck will be dispatched. For rides farther than 10 miles, drivers should expect to pay the rate charged by the tow truck contractor. The passenger and tow truck driver should agree in advance what the excess mileage charges will be and the method of payment, prior to the tow.

You do not have to be a AAA member to use the Tipsy Tow service however it is only for a one-way, one-time ride for a driver and tow for that drivers vehicle.
