I have not come across anyone in that situation yet but I would help,

I did however spot 2 women on the hard shoulder in the Rain looking under the Bonet of a Punto, I was going in the opposite direction & in my Transit recovery truck, Came off at the next junction & went back but when I got there a VOSA car was parked behind them

I always get out an help people if they have broken down nothing than watching some poor bastard/b!tch trying to push their car on their own. I would hope someone would help me in the same position  :undecided:

I helped out a woman a few years ago on a bitterly cold New Year's Day. She was in a classic Mini and I had one too. I pulled over and diagnosed the problem within a couple of minutes - dirty points and distributor cap. Was able to clean it up enough for her so it ran smoothly (would hardly do a thing when I got there) so she was able to get home and told her that she needed to get it serviced more regularly.

She was a bit of a yummy mummy too (7/10)  :wink: and I got a peck on the cheek and a big happy New Year hug. Was just one of those things that made me feel very good, and she didn't have to wait for the AA.  :cool:

Other than coming to the rescue to my sister and her kids in their broken down Mk4 a few years ago, I've not come across any Damsels in distress.

The closest was stopping a woman's car from being stolen.

Pulling into a space at Parc Tawe, Swansea, I noticed the car ,two spaces to the right, a chap bending down under the steering column. After getting out of my car I noticed the chap had vanished and the drivers door wasn't slightly ajar.

So..Hmmm. I waited for about five minutes, thinking they might come back, but then then it became obvious .  I had a quick look inside and it seemed ok.  Locked the car and went to the security lodge to report a potential theft.  This was a Saturday.  No-one there!  I then spent about 40 minutes walking around all the car parks to find High Viz Noddy. Was he there? No.  :rolleyes:

So, I left a note on the windscreen about what had happened, and that she should get in touch with security to view CCTV.

I got a very nice phone call from the female owner which showed me that "doing ones bit" should  always be encouraged.

Warm and Fuzzy FTW!

Chuff you're old and have different values plus you just wanted to get traffic going to get home!

I don't think this has anything to do with it Jay, it's to do with the morals and values instilled in you from a young age. I have jumped out the car when a Ford Galaxy was broken down with a woman and her nippers broken down at a junction. Most people drove around her and left her to it.

Again as you Chuff, I was the only one who jumped out, told her what to do to get it moving (it was an auto) and then pushed her across the junction, back across the road and then in to a petrol garage. At least 30 odd cars must have gone past, but no one gave a damn.

But thats my point Chuff like myself have been raised to respond right away, but most of us have experience where we have been helped at somepoint in our lives. The old pay it forward is a hard lesson when essentially the mentality of today is me? We proberly have seen our old mans do these things, but combine todays society materialistic values plus the lack of two parents or as I would put it role models out there, where and what can I say about new generations to come? Plus most people have a simplistic look "They will be okay she is proberly waiting to be towed or the police will come soon to sort it out" Ideal? No! Chuff is proberly probmatic and like you have said auto mode, still he got home quicker than if he waited like the rest of the sheep? Why does it have to be only a women with kids?
TBH most people are scared what might happen and what could happen and accounts for alot of misdirected logic in our society today!  :lipsrsealed:    You made me too deep, off I go to piss someone off!

I have done the same in the past, stopped to see if I could help but no luck so gave her a lift to the local garage a mile or so down the road, it was dark and I did not like the idea of leaving her stranded.
