Free Memorial Day Weekend 2014 DUI Safe Ride Program in Many States 800-222-4357
Despite its cute moniker, "tipsy" is drunk, as least as far as driving is concerned. Don't risk your own safety and the safety of others, a DUI charge, jail time, ignition interlock devices, and hefty legal fees by driving impaired this Memorial Day weekend.
AAA in many states is offering free rides home for impaired drivers. Store the number for the service in your state in your phone. In most participating states, the number is 800-AAA-HELP or 800-222-4357 but check the list below to verify. Use it if you think you've had too much to drink. Share it with a friend who might have had one too many. You do NOT need to be a member of the AAA program to use this service.
This program is offered several times throughout the year, including New Year's Eve, 4th of July, Superbowl Sunday, and other holiday/party weekends depending on the club so keep the number for future reference, too.
Enjoy your holiday this weekend, but stay safe.
