Plan ahead for Christmas and the New Year by using common sense. Don't drink and drive.

Let the folks at AAA South Dakota lend a hand. Or in this instance, a ride.

AAA South Dakota is offering free rides home over the holidays this year – for you and your vehicle – if you feel unsafe behind the wheel after partying at Christmas/New Year’s/holiday get-togethers.

“Tipsy Tow” is available from 6 p.m. this Friday, Dec. 16 until 4 a.m. Monday, Jan. 2, 2017 in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Mitchell and Yankton. The service is free and open to AAA members and non-members alike.

“There are just too many alternatives to climbing behind the wheel after drinking,” said Marilyn Buskohl, spokeswoman for AAA South Dakota. “Serve original zero-proof mocktails at holiday parties (recipes available at AAA.com/mocktail), call a ride-sharing service or a cab, use designated drivers or call AAA for a free Tipsy Tow. Don’t tempt fate – minimize your risk.”

To access AAA’s Tipsy Tow, call (800) 222-4357 and ask for Tipsy Tow. AAA will take you home, along with up to one additional passenger and your vehicle, at no charge, no questions asked, within a 15-mile radius of the point of pickup, day or night during the 16+-day period.
