Siri, I'm getting pulled over

Did you know you can teach your iPhone shortcuts that might just save your life?

By saying, "Hey Siri, I'm getting pulled over," the shortcut -- will pause any music that you're playing, turn down the brightness of your phone, turn on the "Do Not Disturb" mode to block any incoming calls, open up your front-facing camera and start a video recording. In order for this to work, make sure to take these steps:

  1. The iOS shortcut is separate from the native Siri app, so you should first install the Shortcuts iOS app. This is a new functionality for devices running iOS 12 or later, so make sure your software is up to date.

  2. Next, download the I'm Getting Pulled Over shortcut.

  3. Go to Settings > Shortcuts > and switch Allow Untrusted Shortcuts to On.

  4. In the Shortcuts app, go to Gallery and scroll down until you see the I'm Getting Pulled Over shortcut.

  5. Tap Add Untrusted Shortcut.

  6. Select your emergency contact and then tap Done.
