Would you stop? - Page 4

More often than not I see the driver on their mobile so I presume theyre either talking to the breakdown service or a loved one. If I was in the middle of nowhere, on the other hand, I might be tempted to stop to see if they needed a lift somewhere, if nothing else.

They do. But show me one person that always sticks to the law

I always stick to the law. The wrong side of it, but I'm stuck there!

Personally I wouldn't stop. Noone ever stopped for me in my Allagros, so why should I?

I stopped to help a chap who'd broken down in his MGF a few years back but it was half way up a 1/4 hill and I was on my bike. I felt it was my moral obligation to stop and nothing to do with the fact that my lungs were about to explode.

Actually, just remembered, I did stop a little while back for someone in a Saab 9000. I happened to have a huge bruiser of a mate in the car at the time, so thought "what the heck"! Took one listen to the engine, said good luck, and off I went again - bolloxed it was
