I was filtering a whole line of traffic this morning and went to turn left when noticed a car stopped on the turn with a lady stood by the car.
I asked if she needed help. She said the car had stalled and won't move and had been there 20 minutes and no one had offered to help, even though there was a traffic jam a couple of feet away. I told her to get in and I will push to the side. She was a little upset and a bit flustered. I had to ask her to take the handbrake off then put into neutral. Just as I started to push the car another chap came along to help. We started to push and for some reason she steered right just as a van and trailer decided to get by, the trailer catching her offside bumper quite badly. The van didn't even stop, probs didn't even notice.
We got the car to the kerb and told I told the chap that she had been there 20 minutes waiting for help. He was aghast and said, "Your not even a car driver are ya?"
It really is unbelievable that people are happy to sit in a traffic jam just watching another unfortunate soul in trouble and not lifting a finger to help.
