A lot has been said about the awful things people do on the roads, but what about the good? What are some of the nice things others have done for you on the road?
I had broken down in a turn lane shortly after I first had my licence. I did the right thing, put on the hazards, lifted the bonnet, and then sat and frantically called some friends living locally to come and help me as I was only around the corner from home. I tried very hard to ignore the taxi behind me leaning on his horn. Suddenly a van pulled out from behind the taxi and shot in front of me. Out stepped this huger islander fellow, and I thought "I'm gone, or the car is gone." First of all he bailed up the taxi and told him to shove off in no uncertain terms. Then he came and asked if he could be of assistance, as he was a mechanic for the local Toyota dealer. I just nodded, he stuck his head under the bonnet, had a fiddle, and shoved some sort of hose back on that had broken it's clamp. He wished me a good day, and off he went! I was very relieved, and it returned some of my faith in human nature. Any others out there to be told? |
