MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 GWP dv  
p.m. | $+5@+Zz  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED Re=WfG  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's Qt+:4{H e  
parents [L~@uAMw:  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the P0GeZ02]  
side of 0$P/jt  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * vO@s$qi

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called :k,Q,B.I

over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an {}Ejt:rKN

her. !Pj/7JC0  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was [=%YV# O

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a }_OM$nzj  
woman Y}STF  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. ]MTbW=*}ED  
Apparently f4('gl9

You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them (

i.e. wts:65~  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. USPTpjt8R

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed k9si|'  
that V5rp.~  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let K k[`dR;
