Dallas, TX –
Triple A is offering its annual "Tipsy Tow" to New Year's Eve partiers who've had too much to drink.
Dan Ronan, with Triple-A Texas, says a safe ride home is only a phone call away.
Ronan: They will tow your car, and they will take you home. It's a free service. You don't have to be a Triple-A member to use this. And, what we're trying to do is work with local law enforcement agencies to get people who are intoxicated off the road on New Year's Eve.
Ronan says a standard per-mile fee will kick in if the tow is farther than 10 miles. And, he says the Tipsy Tow driver will NOT take you to another party.
Tipsy Tow drivers start work at 6 tonight, and will be available throughout New Year's Day. The number is: 1-800-222-4357.
