Emergency mobile numbers

Don't allow yourself to be in a dangerous situation.  Have these numbers on hand, so you can call emergency, no matter where you are. 

An urban legend has circulated for many years claiming that motorists can dial #77 or *77 to reach the police, or to determine if the unmarked police car behind them is real, or .... etc. As you can see from this map, #77/*77 is not the universal number for the police. Either dial 911 or determine your state's local highway emergency or special circumstance number.
