Witnessed a bump

In all se4riousness I wouldn't have thought anyone would be facing discipline if they had witnessed a crash and simply offered to help.

Clearly you haven't worked for my last employer!

Where do you work and do they have any jobs going in IT?

Wow, I can't believe this is even being discussed. Every single time I have witnessed an accident I have stopped and given my details. And every single time I've been the only one to stop.

Recently I approached a guy who'd broken down on a roundabout approach road. He was trying to push his car out of the way to stop the obstruction (not easy on his own and he was really struggling), as it was causing chaos. Not 1 person stopped they all just squeezed past him and went on their merry way. I drove past parked up and then gave him a hand. Then a taxi driver blocked the road to protect us from the idiots and he got abuse. Nice.

Hopefully Karma will work it's magic on these people.

I'd do the same (and with breakdown) though I'd still get in trouble at my last job. Understandable that someone wouldn't if their own job was on the line (impendind redundancies and the like) though.

I'll always try to offer a lift if I see someone walking with or filling up a jerry can too. Last one was a tough-looking guy in his late 20s and I ended up taking him up this long, very steep hill to where his car was parked in another garage that was locked up but the lights still on, in a really rough area... In the car were his wife and 3 very young children bawling their eyes out.
