I completely agree - I do the same. I have personally called 911 at least 10 times in the past year on my cellphone when I have observed dangerous and possibly drunk driving. On at least 2 of these occasions, the RCMP have called me back to thank me as they were successful in apprehending and convicting drunk drivers. Many people don't realize but you are PERMITTED to call 911 on your cellphone (so long as it is safe for you to do so) and on several occasions I have provided the license plate number and then followed behind at a safe distance to report where the driver is going and arranged for the RCMP to get a car in place to intercept them. We need more people doing this across the province. Police can't be everywhere and they always appreciate a concerned citizen helping them catch someone breaking the law.
