Five Years Ago Amir Iravani, member of Escondido East Rotary Club and owner/president of a local towing and road services company in Escondido, started a "Tipsy Tow" program, all out of his own pocket. The estimated cost to date is $60,000. Any individual who has had one too many drinks to safety drive home and is in one of five north county covered cities, can call Amir's company, NK Towing, for a free ride home. The vehicle is towed home for free as well. Amir and his company received a proclamation from the City of Escondido last month in honor of the 5th anniversary of this program. The proclamation notes the potential numbers of lives saved by keeping drunk drivers off road, including those who made use of his service... left self.
