AAA activating ‘Tow to Go’ for Memorial Day Weekend

AAA is activating “Tow to Go” in Charlotte to help stranded drivers and to prevent impaired driving tragedies this Memorial Day Weekend.

“AAA’s ‘Tow to Go’ program is designed to remove impaired drivers from the road before disaster strikes,” said Tiffany Wright, spokesperson for AAA – The Auto Club Group in the Carolinas. “While this service is here for emergencies, we strongly urge everyone to plan ahead for a safe ride home, because making responsible choices can stop a tragedy from happening.”
