Actually, the Onslow County, NC area offers (and has for at least a
year; maybe longer) a direct link to the NC highway patrol. Dialing
"*HP" will connect you to a dispatcher.

This systems seems like a good replacement for 911 calls while on the
highway; it doesn't suffer many of the liabilities of cellular 911
calls that were discussed here a while back.
