I was driving towards a busy junction today. As i approached it, all the cars in my lane, which were going forward were going around a car that had stopped about 10 metres from the traffic lights at the junction in the middle of the lane. I stopped to get out to find a heavily pregnant lady sitting in the car.
I asked her if she was all right to which she replied that she had run out of petrol (daft yes, but then she was pregnant so excuseable i suppose). I started to push the car to the side of the road, and was helped by a taxi driver, who promptly got in his car and buggered off. Luckily i always carry jerry cans of fuel on board my van for the tools we use so i was able to put some fuel in her car for her.
I couldnt believe that no-one had stopped to help her. I then asked her how long she had been sitting there for. I was gobsmacked when she told me 20 minutes and no bugger had stopped to help her. All the cars had just continually driven around her. God knows how many would have gone past her at that junction, but it would have been in the hundreds
what a wonderful world we live in.
