"By providing this program, AAA gives drivers no excuse for driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or impairing medications," Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group, said in a statement. "However, we remind people to treat Tow to Go as a last resort. Instead, make advanced plans for a safe ride home."

AAA said the "Tow to Go" service may not be available in rural areas or during severe weather conditions.
