AAA Hawaii offers ‘tipsy tow’ over New Year’s

AAA Hawaii is offering a free ride home and tow service for drinking drivers over the New Year’s holiday weekend.

The “Tipsy Tow” service is available from 6 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Sunday on Oahu, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island.

Calling (800) 222-4357 will allow drivers who have been drinking a free tow to a home of up to five miles. The service excludes rides for passengers and is limited to a one-way ride to the driver’s home. For distances farther than five miles, drivers will pay the rate charged by the tow truck contractor.

AAA Hawaii reminds drivers it only takes one or two drinks to slow physical and mental skills, affecting vision, steering, braking, judgment and reaction time.
