Might as well. Generally, it takes less than two minutes for someone to pull over and ask if they can render assistance if I pull off the road for some reason.
You said it.
My mom still has nightmares about the time I saw a biker stranded along the road in the middle of the night and stopped to help.
He was a clubber but I just walked up and silently handed him my cell phone.
He called for a trailer, handed back the phone and nodded to me and I went on my way.
[they rarely actually talk to other biker’s ‘ol’ ladies’, out of respect]
It was cold and getting ready to rain and not a single other driver even slowed down as they went by him.
[scared off by “the patch”]
It’s kind of funny, the “universal shorthand” that’s apparently developed between us all.
You’re driving down the road, a biker is sitting on the side, you offer an upturned palm, in question, they return a thumbs up for ‘we’re okay’ and you reply with a thumbs up or they offer a motion-to for help and you stop...all in less than a few seconds.
Isn’t it weird that car drivers generally don’t have the same mutual compulsion to help?
