> 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.
> Remembering her parents'
> advice, she telephoned 112 from her mobile phone. This
> connected her to the police emergency centre. She told the
> policeman that there was an unmarked car with a flashing
> blue light behind her and that she would not pull over then
> but wait until she was in a service station or busy area.
> The policeman checked to see if there was a police car
> where she was and there wasn't. He told her to keep
> driving, remain calm and that he had back-up already on the
> way. Sure enough, ten minutes later 2
> 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

> 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

> lights, or call 112.
> What a
> pity that 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 so they can also pinpoint exactly where you
