    Sorry a bit off topic but: That's funny if the person who phones is charged!
    i rang emergency services a few years ago after coming across an RTA on the motorway - a few people expressed alarm at my having done so in the (thankfully mistaken) belief that the person who makes the call is the person who is charged. it'd be a right old mess if that was the case, no-one would ever ring for one for someone else again.

    anyway, most emergency services don't charge.

    Still off topic. If you make a call to the Fire Brigade re an accident/fire in a vehicle, you will most likely be the first to get a bill from them. In the OP's case, her sister got a bill from the Ambulance Service because they assume there will be an insurance claim.

    Further OT, my dad told me about this poor sod - he let someone sit in his car after an RTA, and lost his roof as a result:
