AAA To Expand Tipsy-Tow Program For Thanksgiving

The News On 6

UNDATED -- AAA is expanding its popular Tipsy-Tow program to include Thanksgiving.

The Tipsy Tow Program offers free rides home within a 15-miles radius from the pick-up location to people who have had too much to drink.

"We've expanded Tipsy Tow and now offer this life-saving service to AAA members and nonmembers alike over all of the year's major holidays," said Chuck Mai, spokesman for AAA Oklahoma.

"During holiday periods, up to 40 percent of all fatal crashes involve alcohol. AAA's Tipsy Tow makes sure the motorist, up to one more person, and the vehicle all get home in one piece."

The program begins Wednesday evening at 6:00 and runs through the Thanksgiving holiday ending at ten o'clock Sunday night.

Tipsy Tow is offered in Tulsa and Muskogee.

To use the free service, call AAA toll free 1-800-222-4357 and ask for Tipsy Tow.
