A beautiful woman in her 60s and me a divorced dino that's age 71? And by some miracle I had a good look at her in Interstate traffic? Serious answer. Me dino could not pass up the oppurtunity. I'd. come limping out out my car, and, as I leaned on my cane, maybe I should ask her if SHE can help me out.

In the metoo age I think gentlemen would be well advised to call the State Troopers and not put themselves into a potentially expensive situation. Unless of course you strap your GoPro onto your hat before hand so it's all on video. A sad reality, but we all know the consequences of ignoring reality.

A car stopped on the interstate with the lights flashing?

It happens all the time. When you stop there, you must switch on your flasher. That is DMV rule.

It is not surprising drivers did not react.

Probably do nothing. Could be a trap of some sort. If she didn’t look in some sort of immediate distress my help would not be necessary since some liberal bleeding heart would probably stop

A beautiful women, with a Lexus on the side of the road, flashing me?
I'm probably driving into a telephone pole.

Seriously, I'd pull over and call the police and wait for them to arrive. I would not approach the car. I'd do the same for an old man.

Attractiveness would be irrelevant, stop and help if possible, if driving the bus call for aid. Type of care wouldn't matter and it wouldn't matter if it was a guy.

When I was a kid we used to stop for anyone on the side of the road. I helped push many cars out of the ditch. But now everyone has a cell phone. I think if you stop, you'll scare them.

That happens here all the time out in the country with absolutely zero cell service and I doubt those On Star gadgets work here either. I always stop on these rural roads and with window down ask if they need help. Depends if I am armed and a few other conditions before I get out to help.

Do nothing because a Lexus owner should have the money for a cell phone and AAA or Lexus comes with roadside assistance!!!!! I might ask if I can tell anyone in the next town that she needs help.

I'd tend toward helping if I could pull over safely. Doesn't matter if she's beautiful, though. If it's a man, good luck to him.

Well, Allosaur, you are truly a gentleman. A fireman and two State Troopers came to her rescue and instructed her on how to get the door open so they wouldn't have to break out a window. Seems the doors didn't want to open! N

This happened to my best friend forever and for two hours, no one even slowed down. The 911 operator finally got help to her. She couldn't get her doors to open. Some kind of electrical failure.

As a questionably "beautiful" lady in her 60's (at least for another several months till my next birthday), who drives a Lexus....I'll tell you that I go to a LOT of trouble not to allow this to happen to me.

(Most) people are good, but I am never willing to allow others that much ability to influence my life. Since we have moved 5 hours away from "home" in the past 3 years, I've had time to think about this. My first level of defense is my husband, who considers it unthinkable for me to have to travel alone. But that cannot last forever, as we all have an inevitable end.

So, I make sure I'm armed. I make sure the vehicle is in tip-top running condition. My phone is charged and operational, though some of the places where I drive have little to no cell phone signal. I check the weather carefully for several days in advance. I practice a lot of "what-if" scenarios. And since most of my highway driving is of necessity on somewhat less-well-maintained roads, I keep a keen eye out for places to stop.

So, if you see me sitting on the side of the road with blinkers on, I'd be happy for you to make note of my license plate number and call the authorities. If they are needed: thank you. If they are not needed, I can explain that to them as well as to anyone else, and I appreciate your concern. One only needs to think of names like Ted Bundy, one of the most attractive and innocent-looking serial killers to have ever lived, to be wary of anyone trying to be "helpful" in a roadside situation.

Great question, BTW!

If I see a lady I stop to help. Her age and looks are irrelevant. If I see a man he's on his own unless he's actively waving for help.

Does not matter what she looks like.

20 years ago I would have stopped to help anyone.

Today you have risks that did not exist. If you stop and are alone, you risk a she said he said kind of incident. Not worth stopping.

I would still stop if I have my wife with me, but without a witness I would do nothing.

a beautiful lady in her 60's? You mean that's possible? I'm in my 60's, but have no such illusions. (However, I was never beautiful, even in my teens). The way things are now, it might be better just to call the State Troopers, rather than risk some sort of robbery or something by stopping. But just doing nothing--no!

This gets better. Firestone had earlier in the week told her that her car was 'fine'. She believed them. Guess who her insurance company adjuster had her car delivered to? You got it. The same Firestone Co. She has hired an attorney.

I've not come across this, but I did once pick up a young women, holding a baby and the hand of a second small child. The day was exceedingly hot and they looked like they could use the ride. In fact, this was the one and ONLY time I picked up a hitchhiker with my wife and own children in our car (my wife was understanding).
