High speed car chase

By drivingmecrazy - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - Sacramento

Today, I called 911 to report a drunk driver. The operator yelled at me for following the guy and told me to get off the phone because I shouldn't be driving with a phone to my ear. FML

god damn. Report it and get him fired. That drunk driver could cause way more damage than you could've driving on the phone, and the operator would be partially responsible

I think the operator probably handled it badly and it is really good you reported the driver but I think it is dangerous to drive and phone - illegal in the UK. If you could, you should have pulled over. But I understand you felt you couldn't do that and felt you needed to follow the driver.

When the attitude starts it's a good time to hang up.

What a shame. You try do good things in life and get treated like that. All operator had to ask is for license number. For all you know person could be having medical problem. But instead yelling for no reason.

Honestly, your efforts are commendable but it's really dangerous to follow drunk drivers, it's better to take note of their licence plate, pull over and call the authorities.

You're supposed to pull over and get the plate number, then call 911 and give them the plate number and the direction/street they were driving. I agree with the operator, although they could have been more polite. It is dangerous to follow someone like that.

it's perfectly legal to drive talking on the phone.

In Wisconsin, as long as you're 18 and off your temps, you can make phone calls. They CAN pull you over if they feel it's distracting, though. They same goes for listening to music through earbuds.
