ATLANTA, Ga. (January 31, 2020) — AAA urges Super Bowl fans to stay in the game of life by not driving impaired. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2018, there were 10,511 fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes involving drunk drivers. AAA reminds motorists to take steps ahead of time to avoid driving impaired.
“There is no such thing as a responsible impaired driver, said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman, AAA-The Auto Club Group. “Impaired driving fatalities can be prevented by planning ahead and choosing a sober ride home, such as a designated driver. Drivers who get behind the wheel while intoxicated risk both their life and the lives of other motorists on the road.”
Since its inception in 1998,Tow to Go has removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from roads across the Southeast and Midwest. A program of AAA – The Auto Club Group, it reminds party-goers of the importance to plan ahead by choosing a designated driver, staying where you are celebrating, or arranging for another form of safe transportation such as AAA’s Tow to Go program.
