MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 xBE}/F$45  
p.m. 1:q`KkJx  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED 2Xv$
  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's !@FzP@  
parents E/^N   
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the 2UTmQOm  
side of V:lKF')  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * IG!(q%Gf

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called tjcsT>  
#77 /7WdG)'  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull 48.4GwL7  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an }?9A:&  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind ?4_ME3$t  
her. i8=+<d  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was zTw<9Nf  
and .F0Q<s9  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he 2 yRUw  
had @ b}-<~  
back up already on the way. } ;d=

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind 0 .ck!"h}  
her. |zy` ]p9  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car _I0=a@3  
behind. _*wlK;`

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a $IJ"fs

^  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. )vGxF}I3  
Apparently yxi*4R

You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( Dt'bbX'edw  
i.e. bMqFrG  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. D*g K,`
