> 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 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.

When I was driving lorries (Powerhouse, Dixons, Shell, BP etc)we were always told to only pull over even for marked police vehicles until at a service station, we all had a sign saying something like "carrying valuable goods follow me" that we held up should we be requested to stop. never a problem for the Police, they know how dangerous our roads can be, an artic can carry a LOT of valuable things and thieves love steeling them, but nothing is more valuable than human life!!

I'm pretty sure that the thing about stopping for the police is that you do have to stop for a policeman in uniform, but you don't otherwise.

04-06-2016, 03:29 AM #9Umm, guys, this is one of those urban myth emails that circulates around the Internet. 112 works from your mobile phone if you have no signal ? Sorry I don't think that's right.

if you cant ring 999 because of no signal how can you ring 112 with no signal
thing with unmarked cars steve is that most of them carry guns and even better tazers
