I was traveling on a road t around midnight. Weather was extremely bad, and roads were snowy and very slushy and slippery.
I was the lead vehicle of a chain of cars and saw a car with its hazards on, which had veered into a ditch on the right side of the road. I slowed down, put my hazards on, and stopped. I got out of the car and approached the woman, who said that she had already called for help and thanked me.
I stopped because I thought that the person could have been in an emergency situation. Maybe they had no cell phone, or didn't have CAA, or didn't know the location of their vehicle. Maybe they had an emergency medical condition and were in serious trouble.
I was relieved that she was OK, but wondered if this was normal behaviour. I don't think many people do that. Has anyone done this?
I would never do this on a busy highway during the day, but this was a very lonely road, and I don't think anybody would have stopped.
