That's the message the AAA Mid-Atlantic has for Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine.
The state plans on closing about half its highway rest areas.
The AAA is asking Kaine to rethink the cost-saving measure.
The AAA says people who are tired behind the wheel or trying to make it to their destination without a bathroom break will compromise highway safety.
State transportation officials say closing the 19 rest stops will save about $9 million a year.
