How to drive safe on New Years

It is that time of year again where we say goodbye to the passing year and hello to the new year with great celebration. During the celebrations we need to remember that keeping our heads while the party is happening will help us start the new year off on the right foot.

There are many ways to get safely to where you need to go. Designated drivers, trains/subways, taxis are your best options. But what happens if the designated driver decides to have have a drink? Have they had just one? Was that designated driver supposed to be you? Be sure and utilize the safest options for all involved including just calling a cab.

I know you are thinking "I just can not go home and leave my car here". Well there is a service offered called Tipsy Tow that is offered to both members and non members free of charge for a 7 mile tow.

Statistics show that traffic-related fatalities increase significantly around the holidays. As such, the Auto Club sponsors a complimentary Tipsy Tow service on New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July, which offers free rides to drivers who have been drinking. Avoid becoming a statistic and help guests stay safe by following these tips:

  • Ensure all guests have a ride to and from their destination in a car driven by a non-drinking designated driver
  • Plan activities that take the focus away from drinking, and make non-alcoholic beverages readily available
  • Serve high-protein snacks to slow down alcohol absorption
  • Stop serving alcohol at least 90 minutes before a party ends, and serve guests coffee or dessert
  • Take car keys from intoxicated guests who plan to drive home

Tipsy Tow service provides a complimentary ride and vehicle tow up to seven miles from the point of pickup to drivers who have consumed alcohol on New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July. Tipsy Tow service is available to members and non-members. Ask for a Tipsy Tow by calling 1-800-400-4222.

All of us at Supreme Choice Insurance Solutions wish you safe travels and have a very happy New Years.
