A few grand and some back and forth in court , turns out she was the cause of the wreck and a decent judge tossed the whole thing but damn save her fat *** life and then she want's to sue you ?
Glad we have the good Samaritan law here in Alaska. Even if you hurt someone in the course of trying to save their life, you can't be held liable.

I won't stop with the family in the car. I will stop if folks look like they're in distress. Lots of wrecks here in the winter time. Once picked up a guy in the middle of nowhere in 30 below temps. The last ride he got gave him the impression he was going to the next town. Dropped him off about 70 miles from where he picked him up. Wound up bringing him all the way into Anchorage; about 300 miles.

I was a long way from nowhere on my bike and had a guy go way out of his way to bring me gas. Took him over an hour and was begining to think he had changed his mind and wasn't coming.

I have picked up a few but only while I was armed. Its always been some weirdo but they were all harmless.

Being that I am not smart enough to be afraid I always help when I can. I dont know why but fearing a man just seems silly to me. Yes I have met all kinds of misfits.

If you allow the small percentage of bad to create an environment of fear to help your fellow man then shame shame. I do suggest staying prepared for the rare situation you may meet a killer but its not likely you will.
