Safety advocate AAA urges party-goers to be responsible when celebrating Cinco de Mayo.

“Having a safe ride home should be fiesta-goers’ first priority,” said Linda Gorman, director of communications and public affairs for AAA Arizona. “If those plans fall through, do not get behind the wheel. Rather, call for a Tipsy Tow and let AAA get you home safely.”

AAA’s Tipsy Tow service will start at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 5, and will run through 6 a.m. Friday, May 6. The program is available statewide. Users do not need to be a AAA member.

Drivers, passengers, party hosts, bartenders and/or restaurant managers should:

*Call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357) between 6 p.m. May 5 and 6 a.m. May 6.

*State that they need a “Tipsy Tow.”

*Provide the driver’s name, home address, phone number and vehicle/driver location.

*Tipsy Tow provides a free 10-mile tow and ride home for the driver, their vehicle and one passenger. For mileage beyond this, motorists are charged a standard towing rate. The service does not include roadside assistance.
