AAA Arizona says one in three people in our state will take to the roadways during the year-end holidays. AAA predicts that it will come to the aid of 12,800 motorists between December 23 and January 2. That’s an increase of 6% over the same period last year.
The auto club projects that it will tow nearly 5,000 vehicles, jump start more than 3,300 cars, retrieve more than 2,100 sets of keys locked inside vehicles, fix more than 1,800 tires and deliver fuel to more than 250 stranded motorists.
The club encourages motorists to make a check list before leaving on a holiday road trip. This includes checking tires, battery, belts and hoses.

Arizona Roadway Fatalities Dropped Again in 2010
A new report from the Arizona Department of Transportation says that driving-related deaths in the state declined again last year.
The report says that 762 people were killed in car crashes in 2010. That’s a 5½ % drop from 806 deaths in 2009. It’s also a significant decline from a record 1,300 deaths in 2006.
ADOT says that 30% of last year’s driving-related deaths in Arizona were alcohol-related. But that’s down from 35% in 2009.
