This just recieved from one of our clients:-
Something I've just received - worth knowing......
It's worth reading and passing on if you have the time.
A bit of useful advice - it is true, someone has asked the Dorset Police
It's been said that this number works in the UK - thought you should know
this....The number does work from a mobile. This actually happened to
someone's daughter.
Lauren was 19 yrs old and in college. This story takes place over the
Christmas/New Year's holiday break. It was the Saturday before New Year and
it was about 1.00pm in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a
friend , when an UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put its
lights on. Lauren's parents have 4 children (of various ages) and have
always told them 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. So Lauren
remembered her parents' advice, and telephoned 112 from her mobile phone.
This connected her to the police dispatcher. She told the dispatcher that
there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red 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 like Lauren did. 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.
This is good information that I did not know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please pass on to all your friends, especially any females.
Take care when you are driving ladies!
