Emergency Cellular
Telephone Numbers |
|
Even opponents
of cellular telephone usage by drivers acknowledge their utility in
an emergency situation. Here are the state police / highway patrol
telephone numbers by state. Law enforcement agencies urge motorists
to use these numbers only to report accidents, emergencies, impaired
drivers, reckless drivers, vehicle problems, hazardous material
spills and criminal behavior. We urge drivers to be aware of using
their cellular telephones in a safe manner and to be aware of laws
which prohibit using their phones while driving.
The National
government and many states have mandated that 911 work from your
cellular telephone. According to many Cellular Providers, they are
making strides to accomplish this. Fair warning - your
cellular telephone may or may not work with the numbers below. We
urge you to check with the local or state authorities, before you
travel.
