I wish that was the case yesterday,a guy ran a red light and clipped my front end in which sent him into on coming traffic,there he hit the back passenger door of a 4 wheel drive.Lucky no one was injured, I'm left with one big headache dealing with my insurance and the fact that i will be without a car until repairs are done.What got to me was, in the midst of the accident with our cars strewn across the road,people were yelling abuse and tooting thier horns at us,no one offered any assistance only abuse,for all they knew some one could have been in one of the cars injured or deceased.So to answer your question yes i would offer what ever assistance i could and would be happy to help.

Here, they figure out accidents with percentages attached so that accident would have been 70-30 which means you would be 30% responsible... totally sickening.
I would help and in fact have done so BUT, isn`t there always a "but",it would depend on the total situation because as a old bloke I can`t run as fast as I once could if the situation turns nasty. Come to think of it I can`t run at all so out with the mobile and call 000 in most cases.
Must confess when I fell of the train in Switzerland no bugger came to help except my daughter.
Sad, sad sad.

Warming up down there yet? we have been having high 20s last few days, driest November on record.
"Send her down Hughie"
Brisbanes main water supply dam was at 80% capacity but because we had torrential rain and floods last summer the State Government is releasing water from the dam to bring it down to 75% in case we get heavy rain again. If we get no significant rain we will be on strict water rationing.
Couldn`t run a chook raffle down at the pub.
Surely in this day and age they can monitor the inflow and release the excess in stages before it gets to flood level or is that too simplistic?
I guess it all depends on the circumstances, if it were the middle of the day , perhaps, if it were at night and dark out , no way i'd just pick up my cell phone and call for help..

I am like jhhartan - five feet tall and fearless - always there to help anyone - poking my nose in and do not care a jot how silly I appear - just do it and now feel conceited but it's just the way I am - not bragging here. What a shame there is such a lack of care towards one's fellow man nowadays. Must say though something just came to mind once witnessed a car accident went to court as a witness - took ages and the guy I was there to support did not turn up - this was just bump to bump - no one being hurt - how naive was I.

I help. Sometimes it is a terrible choice and I do know it can be dangerous but I help anyway.

Here man offered two guys a ride ,they ended up stabbing him 27 times ,he lived they stole his car and were later caught. He went fro house to house pounding on doors for help no one would answer the door . Finally he threw a cinder block through the window and crawled through to use the phone and get help . Destroyed the guys house with blood every where looked like they slaughtered a hog in the house . Whole thing was a mess ,the ones doing the stabbing were illegal s had no right to be here .Albuquerque is a giant crap hole so best advice here is mind your own business. Funny thing here ,if as a pedestrian you are struck by a auto the chances are 8 times out of 10 the driver will run from the scene. Getting help is unlikely . I intend to mind my own business and just call 911
