A pet or child left in a hot car
It’s a hot day and a dog is panting in a closed car in the supermarket car park. Every minute counts.
Without WiperNote
- Shouting across the car park, or asking the shop to make an announcement.
- Waiting, not knowing whether the owner will be back in two minutes or an hour.
With WiperNote
- If an animal or a child is in visible distress, call 112 first.
- Scan the sticker and write what you see, for example “A dog is shut in your car in the heat”.
- The owner gets the alert straight away. With Plus, an unopened alert also goes out by SMS or WhatsApp after 3 minutes.
Good to know
- WiperNote is not an emergency service: it can’t guarantee the owner sees the alert in time. For danger to life, always call 112.
- Stay near the car if you can, so you can tell the owner or the emergency services what happened.
One sticker covers all of these
No app for you or for the person scanning. Your number is never shown, and the chat deletes itself.
