CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – AAA’s Tow to Go program will be there to provide a safe way home this Halloween weekend.
AAA members and non-members can call for a Tow to Go ride anytime Friday, October 28 through 6 a.m. on Tuesday, November 1. AAA will then safely transport them and their vehicle home or somewhere safe within 10 miles.
Last year, over half (52%) of all highway fatalities on Halloween night involved an impaired driver according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“Halloween presents a unique danger above all other holidays because many children are out on the roads after dark” said Amy Stracke, Executive Director for AAA’s Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation. “If you’re going to be on the road, look out for those little ones. If you’re going to be drinking, don’t put their lives at risk by getting behind the wheel.”
Anyone in the state of TN in need of a safe ride this weekend can call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246.
