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

Today, my dad took a call while driving. He always yells and curses at people who talk on their cell while driving.

Today, I saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." 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

And after hanging up the call, the 911 operator laughed and laughed while tipping the fifth of whiskey into their glass to have another shot and playing Candy Crush on their smart phone.

its not really a 911 call - unless he's ridiculously drunk. better call local police instead.

to all you asshats saying OP deserved it, in many areas of California there are signs that read "Report Drunk Drivers. Call 911."

I was following a drunk driver one morning on my way to work. It was 3:30AM so the road was empty except for me and him. At first he was just barely swerving. I was thinking of just speeding by him and go about my merry way, but I decided to call 911. They asked if I could see his license plate, I said I don't want to get that close but described exactly where on the freeway he was driving. He was doing fine for about 2-3 mins, just swerving a little bit. Then it happened, he thought he was too close to the barrier on one side and over corrected. He shot across 5 lanes of freeway and smashed into the barrier on the other side. Luckily, because I had called the police they were on the scene within 1-2 mins. A drunk driver is not "safe". You are not being "nosy". They could look like they are driving fine, and then in next instant cause a fatal accident. It's important to call if you think someone is drunk, and it was rude of that operator to take it so lightly.

Driving with a phone is legal in my county

In some countries other than America. It is somewhat against the law to have a phone to your ear.

They are required to tell you to not follow them, but there is no law stating it. You can do it and not get in trouble, but they have to tell uh to not follow them.
