I skipped tons of classes during my undergrad degree and this enabled me to actually assignments that I wouldn't have otherwise had time for.

I just saved time by some words.

It does when transferring to 911 trunks in other PSAPs but my understanding is (in the states I am familiar with) that highway patrol does not receive it. In fact, I'm not particularly confident HP gets e911/w911 data at all, even on direct dialed 7/10 digit calls.

Then again highway patrol is almost definitely not the PSAP for the area, (except if you're in CA) so the call was probably transferred from the PSAP to HP, so they didn't get any wph2 data.

MOST likely it will die before the mean time before failure? Doesn't the definition of mean mean that 50/50 it MIGHT die before then?
