With a busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend upon us AAA is getting ready to keep drivers, passengers and pedestrians safe on the roads.

Beginning on Wednesday, The Auto Club Group will also launch its free ‘Tow to Go’ service, which is aimed at preventing impaired driving.

Morgan Dean, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesperson, said if you plan to go out dinner or to a party, prepare ahead of time for how you are going to get home safely.
