Those are good tips, esp. the one about the eggs I would not have known that.

I haven’t seen anything about this from Bill Schuette (Michigan AG) about this. The idea that he would simply keep driving is ridiculous.

Sometimes Gargoyles will rip the roof off your car and eat your head.
Immediately call police and pull over at a safe place if your head is eaten by Gargoyles.

Urban legend or not-—it’s still excellent advice.

There is absolutely nothing true in this.

1) The bloody carseat gang thing is a long standing internet hoax

2) The egg thing while smart (regarding mixing with water) is, when in relation to gangs, also a hoax

3) Regarding dialing 112: In some countries it is the same as 911 and if you’re lucky your provider may map that number to dial over to 911. Maybe. It certainly isn’t a magic send help number. If you need help call 911. If you have a modern enough phone and 911 in your area is updated enough (I think this is true nation wide now) they’ll send help to your area even if you don’t say anything.

Just ‘cause it’s fake doesn’t mean you shouldn’t post it as a fake fact, huh?

A lot of misinformation mixed in here, it is a combination of a number of forwarded (and Facebook posted) myths - Most of the advice is sound - except USE 911 ALWAYS in the United States. 112 is an international emergency number, it may or may not be implemented on the phone network you're on, and not always will the GPS information be sent, and IT WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR CARRIER'S SIGNAL.

That last part is the important one. 911 on almost all phones will immediately default to the strongest cell signal, regardless of carrier. Even if your phone is somehow disabled (no sim card, etc), the emergency number will still work, connecting to the strongest signal near you.

Anyway, the stories presented are likely fake, especially the assertion of where the advice came from, but they are things to keep in mind.

“Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going on to a safe place.”

Maybe they are supposed to, but in practice, there’s at least a 50/50 chance that if you do this with a real cop, they will consider it “fleeing” and “probable cause”.
