Stuck in Traffic, Dial 999

Stuck-in-traffic Linda Lusardi dials 999

When Lusardi's car hit jams on the M25 this weekend she feared missing the opening curtain of the show in which she is starring as the Wicked Queen.

However, instead of waiting patiently, she called the emergency services asking for permission to drive down the hard shoulder and undertake the queue of stationary vehicles.

The incident took place on Saturday as the 50-year-old former Page 3 model headed to the Swan Theatre, High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire for the matinee performance.

A spokeswoman from Hertfordshire Police said: "She called us at 1.30pm on Saturday asking for permission to use the hard shoulder. Obviously, we declined. 999 is for emergencies only.

"There hadn't been an accident, it was just heavy traffic.

"If someone was very ill or pregnant expecting a child we might be able to facilitate something like that - in an emergency - but clearly getting to a pantomime doesn't constitute that."

Richard Linford, from Qdos Entertainment managing Lusardi's pantomime production, told the Daily Mail: "Miss Lusardi has no comment to make. But I can say everybody's human and we don't all run like robots."

Hertfordshire Police used Lusardi's actions to remind the public what the emergency services number is there for.

A spokesman said: "Being late for work is not a reason to call 999, contact the police or use emergency measures. Use of the hard shoulder is restricted for emergency service vehicles only."

Oh no she didn't!! ..........

Maybe she is the same dumb woman who rang 999 when she couldn't get through to the Xfactor number to vote.

Turd Ferguson

She should have reported an accident and when the ambulance and stuff came by she could just drive behind them through all the traffic....not that I've ever done that before

HydeRoad

Don't they know who she is???

Toiletroll

This raises some serious data protection issues.

This is obviously some sort of marketing stunt!

I'd still hit that....

Maybe she needed the hard shoulder because one motorway lane is not big enough to accomodate her chest.

Consumate professional with a nice pair of bristols.

She should be done for using that numer so wrecklessly. Knock some sence into her?

Turd Ferguson

She does look like a bit of an airhead TBH

Just google "woman calls 911" or "woman calls 999" for some crazy stories
My favourite "Woman calls 999 over rabbit's ears"

Is she allowed to ring 999 to for that?

Berty

Typical Woman!!!

She should be up in court for wasting police time like the old woman arrested two days after they made a law against people ringing up wasting police time.

She called up to say she hopes they can now get on with their jobs without silly people calling up. Day in court for you Grandma!

Her solitary brain-cell was only feeling lonely.:)

When I was a kid I used to ring 999 and hang up. Then I used to get all paranoid any time I saw a cop car cause I always thought they were going to arrest me. I'd actually dive on to the seat if I ever saw one driving by us.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/police-crack-down-on-999-timewasters-743998.html

A woman driving on the M1 who rang on her mobile phone to find out the time;

445279.ie

A friend of mine is a Garda and she said a couple of years ago she got a call at about 4am from a woman who was having a house party and had run out of drink. Wanted to know where she could get some at that time of the morning :eek::rolleyes:

You've never heard of the rule that as breast size increases IQ decreases?

Hence why men are more intelligent than women.

cock robin

I wonder who she wolud ring if there was an emergency ?

Peared

Guys I don't think any of yiz understand the gravity of the situation.

Linda Lusardi is a huge star with a massive fan base. She was going to be late for a panto.

a panto

Have a bit of focking respect.

What would you have her do, sit there like a common pleb?

I think not.

ShooterSF

What's scary here is that the police made the content of her specific call public knowledge. Surely she has a right to personal privacy when making a phone call!
They could have at least left her name out and said that people had rang to see if they could use the hard shoulder to get to work. They can't.

KerranJast

Idiot. Doesn't she know there's a new 999 number in the UK? 0118 999 881 999 119 725....3. Catchy.
