Great info Robert... I'm actually going to probably use that.. i'm on the roads all day long and I do come acrosss alot shit that I dont want to bother the police with, but I feel though its my obligation too...would a rear ended accident (15 mph hit) be good for that number... any other good numbers??? :icon_thumright:

Yeah I was wondering what would be some "qualifications" to dial this number vs 911. I like the whole idea though, I've never heard about this number. Thanks for the information!

You guys are welcome...not sure what situations will qualify....but I guess anything that is Non-Life-Threatening will be OK.

So far the other number that I know is the Texas Roadside Assistance 1-800-525-5555 No need to memorize this number, is on the back of your Drivers License.
