Or you just might not make it by the time your 911 help gets there, it may be too late. Our Sherieff and people knows who to call that will respond the fastest to us. And who can find us the fastest.

Found out I can go in the phone menu Go to 911 assist and turn it off. Then go to reminders and turn them off. Now 911 is OFF And Reminders is OFF And I DO NOT have the 911 reminder , reminding me that 911 is off. There is always another way if you look hard enough for it. Thanks anyway for all the help.

This would be the first responder we would call if in need on those trips.
I am grateful for the technologies we have today. Although as some have pointed out, they can be annoying I think overall it has helped save lives.

No matter where you are, sometime something can happen where you may need to call for help.

I'm 25 miles from the nearest grocery store and twice that from the nearest hospital. But with the lack of traffic those roads receive, I will take 911 over nothing if I'm unconscious in an overturned vehicle, on one of those roads. I thank god for the volunteers who go out on these rural 911 calls.

Just imagine what other info is in there!

Maybe you'd be better off in a '77 trans am?
