I didn't know
about 112 did you?
The
number does work from a mobile.
This actually happened to someone's daughter
and took place on a Saturday1.00pm in the afternoon, and she was driving to
visit a friend, when an UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put
its lights on. The girl’s parents had always told her never to pull over for an
unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather wait until they get to a
service station, etc.
Remembering her parents' advice, she telephoned 112 from her mobile
phone.
This connected her to the police dispatcher whom she told the that there was an
unmarked police car with a flashing blue light on his rooftop behind her and
that she would not pull over right away but wait until she was in a service
station or busy area.
The dispatcher checked to see if there was a police car where she was and there
wasn't and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back-up
already on the way.
Ten minutes later 4 police cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind
her.
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind.
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground........the man
was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.
I never knew that bit of advice, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you
do not have to pull over for an UNMARKED car.
Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a 'safe'
place.
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them i.e., put on
your hazard lights) or call 112.Too bad the mobile phone companies don't give
you this little bit of wonderful information.
So now it's your turn to let your friends know about 112 (112 is an emergency number on your mobile that takes you straight to the
police because 999 does not work if you have no signal).
This is good information that I did not know!
Please pass on to all your friends, especially
any females.
As far as I am aware, 112 uses a system called triangulation
