The holidays are the busiest time of year for drunk driving and for DUI arrests. With so many holiday parties and obligations, it’s easy to make a bad decision and get behind the wheel after you’ve had too many. DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. And if you see someone else thinking of driving drunk direct them to this guide and a safe way home! In this article I am going to skip my typical legal advice, and provide some free, practical options to get you home safely during the holidays, this is the same list I’d give to my own friends and family.
AAA’s Holiday TIPSY TOW
Perhaps the best option is AAA’s Holiday Safe Ride Home, AKA “Tipsy Tow” which offers a free, safe tow ride home for drinking drivers in Northern California. That’s right; they will tow your car home for you. The best part: you don’t even have to be a AAA member—just call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO and tell the operator you need a tow. They will take you up to a certain distance home, typically 10 miles. They won’t take you to another bar or club though, so don’t try that.

Free Taxi up to $20
GJEL injury attorneys will reimburse your NYE Taxi, Lyft or Uber ride up to $20. If you don’t have the flywheel, Lyft, or Uber app on your phone already, download one of them BEFORE you go out. And if you drove, make sure to mark down where you parked (and note the parking restrictions) before you leave.
