NotoriousREV

Is this motorist fit?

sarasquares

iTrader: (1)

no, the motorist is the same sex as you

Abdabz

Nope...Not even if it was a Subaru... I would still wave though...

NotoriousREV

Then he has no chance.

However, if she were perhaps wearing hotpants and bikini top and bending under the bonnet of a gently steaming 1969 Dodge Charger, I'd might stop to see if I could help. Assuming it wasn't raining.

ScuuBdoo

absolutely not. Its too dangerous. In this day and age its too risky. Unfortunately society has made me think that way anyway.

^OPM^

I'd stop and help even if it was snowing-just the kinda person i am

these days most people have a mobile so they probably wouldnt need help anyway

TopBanana

You probably have a mobile and you need help

wrx_yank

kittle

Jamie

where abouts in mk are you ??

scooby595

have stopped and offered help many times.

Again, it's a dodgy thing today, but I'd like to think that if it were my mum or Mrs that were stuck someone would help them.

I think I may have posted this before so forgive me if you have heard this but my mate had a Focus RS, spanking new 200 miles on it, was on the M6 when a lady rear ended an artic in front of him, anyroad he pulled up behind her as the road was blocked with debris and got out to see if she was ok, she got out of her car, blubing and muttering abouy her foot slipping off the brake pedal, anyroad he took her over to his motor as it was raining and sat her in the back to calm her down.
Plod and abulance turned up a few mins later, ambulance asks her if she is ok, she said "yes but my neck hurts" bottom line, they wouldnt let her move and Trumpton turned up and cut the roof off of his RS to get her out

Excellent story!

Leslie

I have stopped for someone in trouble in the past and would do so again. I would take a good look at the person first though.

If it was a broken down scoob, chances are its :

1) A couple of lads on the way to a ram-raid
2) A couple of lads escaping after doing a ram-raid
3) Someone on their way to Halfords for more stick-on bits.

In any case, leave well alone !

PS: Joke.

Yes I usually stop, even if only to offer the use of a phone or identifying anything obvious that's wrong. Wouldn't do it in many parts of London though.

My old boss - nicest chap in the world - stopped to help once (lady driver had hit a deer) and a passing motorist didn't slow down and killed him

Andy Porter

I stopped on my bike once and gave a very fat biker a lift to get petrol. The shear weight of the beast punctured my rear tyre, cost me £130 being nice that day !

a wee while ago when the scoob was having a bit of work done to the guts of the engine
i had a wee shot of the works van to drive myself back and forth to work.
One evening the traffic was realy bad for some reason, after a while i came up to a broken down rover 214 in the outside lane, driver standing beside it looking lost.
I shouted over to the chap and asked if he wanted a push over to the side of the road to get the car out of the way and to let the trafgfic back on it's merry way.
There was a bus stop just a little bit up the road and i says to the guy that we're going to push it there as this will be the best place to move it too.

Now, I'm a big bloke and as i get my back behind this wee Rover it starts to shift, chap turns the steering wheel to straighten up and click.......

All I'm aware off whilst shoving with all my might at the back of the car is that I want home for my supper, BUT
what i did'nt know was that he forgot to put the keys into the ignition
first oops

So as we're now picking up speed all i hear is "WHOO, F@@KIN WHOOO"
I look up to see the Rover heading for a nice newish BMW,
second oops

Car now has a mind of it's own and cant now be stopped but the owner is having the time of his life trying to yank the steering wheel off,
then crunch and he starts to yelp a little, then yelp a lot as the drivers door was open to let him steer the car and it's now crushing his leg and neck.
third oops

I now run round to the front of the car and start pushing it to get the door out of his neck, whilst moving the car back the drivers so intent on getting free he shoves his door open and in doing so scrapes the side of the BMW and catches the rear bumper and drags it of a little too.
fourth oops

Chap who owns the BMW is F@@kin hopping mad, well you would be woulnt you

anyhoo
the guy who had the rover was ok, apart from handing over his insurance info and getting crushed

and all this because some kind hearted gent thought he'd stop and offer some help



would i stop and offer help again


yep, every time cause you never know when you'll be gratefull of someone doing the same for you

Funnily enough, I just see a Scooby on the old A13 near Dagenham fords, pulled over to help out a lady in a Ka. DBM classic, it was dark, so it may have been black. Had a front mount with RSD or something on it. I roof scoop, I think, and some 555 stickers. It was about 45 minutes ago.
