Will AAA plug your tires rather than change a spare?

Does AAA plug your tires instead of changing the spare? I know that you can plug a minor leak in a tire and it will still run for a few thousand miles.

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“If you’re talking about plugging your tire on location, then no.
AAA
 will not offer that service.
It’s more of a liability issue for them. If they plug your tire and then it blows out while you’re driving, they’re liable.
However, they will
tow
 you to the nearest repair shop to do patches or plugs on your tires.”

Is squealing tires a moving violation?
I just bought a hot little sports car, and my Dad keeps yelling at me for peeling out. He says I’m going to get a ticket for reckless driving, but it’s not like I’m doing donuts or something. Is just squealing tires a moving violation?
