Abuse of emergency telephone system
On 29 December 2008 the BBC reported that Linda Lusardi had dialled 999 after getting stuck in heavy traffic on her way to a pantomime appearance. She called emergency services to ask if she could drive on the M25’s hard shoulder so she could reach the High Wycombe theatre in time. A Hertfordshire police spokesman said: “The request was denied and she was given suitable words of advice.”
LOL!
