AAA Nebraska will be providing a free service over the labor Day weekend in an effort to keep impaired drivers off the road. The Auto Club Group is activating its Tow to Go program, which offers a safe ride for would-be impaired drivers and their vehicles.
After getting a call, AAA will dispatch a tow truck to transport the driver and vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius for free. Since its inception, Tow to Go has removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from the road.
Tow to Go will be active from 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1 to 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 5. Free confidential rides will be available to AAA members and non-members. “By providing this program, AAA gives drivers no excuse for driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or impairing medications,” says AAA’s Gene LaDoucer.
“However, we remind people to treat Tow to Go as a last resort. Instead, make advanced plans for a safe ride home.”
