Impressed with the Trackstar E&B button.
Was on the M25 earlier when the traffic suddenly started braking and going all over the place. Up ahead, a childs bike had fallen from a car.
Not knowing my location, but knowing police should be notified I hit the SOS button I have as part of the tracker.
Typically, as the call begun to connect a brave group managed to stop the traffic to remove the bike from Lane 3.
Anyway, I cancelled the call.
A few mins later the phone part of the tracker announced "Incoming Call" and I was connected to a 999 Operator.
They asked if I have just activated my tracking device SOS system, and what the nature of the emergency was. I notified them that the issue was sorted, hence cancelling my call. He thanked me and ended the call.
Nice to know the system actually works I have to say. So will feel safer with it in the car, and knowing that help is only a button press away, inc breakdown assistance.
Thought I would share that with you all

Shaggy, I would have to agree.
I have been followed/chased once before, so when I renewed the tracker and heard of the option it was a must.
You never know when you are gonna be in an unknown area and need help of any sort, accident, being car jacked, chased etc. Its usable for all the emergency services, and makes your GPS location known to the emergency services. So you can keep moving if need be, and they can track you. Rather than trying to give a running commentary to the police as someone tries to force you off the road.
Something I would not be without now
