What mostly gets reported are speeders, anyone who switches lanes without signaling, people who cut you off in traffic, etc. The incredible volume of 911 calls the new DUI fishing expeditions have generated are causing 911 response delays.
So true. The funny thing is that most 911 calls from cell phones are routed directly to the CHP which I learned from a local accident except in another case it took 35 minutes for the local police to show up by the time the call got routed to their dispatch.
