It’s an interesting phenomena for sure. I got a flat in my bike on my way to work once and no one would stop, so I said “fuck it” and put it on my back and ran. I had gone about a quarter mile when a woman stopped and helped me put it in the back of her SUV. I told her about how people just drive right past and she said regrets not helping people on the side of the road and she’s going to from now on. So I guess we both helped each other a bit!

You're also less likely to be looking for murder victims if you're pushing a car rather than flagging them down

The best response I saw to this was that people don't know if they can help you fix your car, but they know they know how to push.
