About a mile up the road he had the gray Chevy pulled over and was in
way of explaining the error of her ways to the driver. Sometimes there
is a cop available when you need/want one. Bv)=

I have used the "star" number before for the state police in Texas and Tennessee. It's amazing how fast they shouw up at times.

It used to was *477 (I.S.P.). Currently it's *999 which is said to be
the cell phone version of 911 - so I'm not sure if one would get patched through to the nearest prowl car.

BTW - *All* of my vehicles have blue tooth - which is used. I have been known to cut a caller short if I'm in heavy traffic - with the phrase, "Call me later. I've got to pay attention here."

If I get a call, I will pull over. TN has a hands-free law here but amateur radio operators like myself are exempted from the law (long
reason why) if we are using our radio in our vehicle.

How 'bout CB radios in big rigs? I still see antennae on some of the
OTR rigs.

If it's just general jibber-jabber it's not a problem. But, if it's a
detailed discussion where it's important to keep things "straight" then
I either ring-off or pull over.
