Just out of interest, if you saw an Impreza say on the hard shoulder, would you stop and offer some help ??

I know not all Scooby owners believe in this group type thing, but I like to think someone would offer me assistance if I was to brake down, I know I'd stop even if only to be told to **** off!

No - The hard shoulder is a dangerous place. IMO leave it to the professionals.

My sentiments exactly

Mind you, the only assistance I could offer would be to call a breakdown assistance company

i would stop to help anyone if it is safe to do so, as long as they weren't just sitting there expecting you to stop if you get me
for instance the girl just sat there on her mobile wouldn't get as much help as the one who has already got the jack out IMO!
but yep, i would stop, def for an impreza, or any subaru if it was safe and i had the time.

Depends how fast I was going. The faster you go, the less time there is to weigh up whether it looks like someone you would want to help, and trust not to do you over!

By the time you've decided to help, you're half a mile down the road
