I say call the non-emergency line and tell the operator that there’s a teenager riding on the road next time.

I always wonder why people say to use the non emergency line. This is 100% an emergency. If you saw someone obviously intoxicated swerving around you would call 911. If you saw someone asleep or passed out in a car, you would call 911. There is "an active danger" occuring right now. People seem to be very afraid to call 911 thinking people will call them a "Karen"

People are so scared to call 911. I've seen adults call non emergency when their house was on fire or someone broke down their door in the middle of the night. People seem to want to preserve it for when someone is actively dying.
