Don't Lose Your Silicon Valley Job Because of Labor Day

Don't lose that Silicon Valley job because of too much fun on Labor Day - take a free Tipsy Tow ride home instead.
Every Silicon Valley working person deserves a holiday. Many workers in San Jose, Cupertino and Saratoga enjoy a few drinks on Labor Day. But if you or someone you care about drinks too much on Labor Day, be sure to arrive home safely…take advantage of the FREE Tipsy Tow Service.
Imagine losing that Silicon Valley job the day after Labor Day due to a drunk driving violation and arrest when a free ride home is available. Knowing the unemployment rate is at 9 percent, keeping that Silicon Valley job is important.
The California State Automobile Association, known as “Triple A or AAA” is providing free tipsy tows for anyone too drunk to safely drive. The service is provided free to anyone, whether CSAA members or not.
The “Avoid the 13” campaign has been out in force since August 19th, and ends after Labor Day. (Avoid the 13 is the cooperative effort of multiple police departments to catch and remove drunk drivers from the roads over a concentrated period of time.)
Numbers of violations are already higher than last year and there's one more day to go, so avoid becoming a statistic of either an arrest or worse.
If you or someone you care about plans to drink today or tonight, be sure to keep this number handy for a free tow home: 800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP).
Tipsy Tow is available from 6 p.m. Monday, September 5th until 6 a.m. Tuesday, September 6th. All calls are first come, first served – sorry, no reservations allowed. The service is available in Northern California, Nevada and Utah.
To qualify for the free service, callers are only required to say, "I need a Tipsy Tow" to get a truck dispatched in their direction.
With AAA estimating costs of an initial DUI (Driving Under the Influence) ticket running as high as $12,000, (between fines, penalties, restitution and additional insurance costs), this number should be kept handy, especially among with under 25 age group. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics show that for crashes among drivers age 16 to 24 that involve alcohol account for about 36 percent of high way fatalities.
CSAA Tipsy Tow: 800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP).
