Cars
"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

You probably saved a life
so you froze for a while - that's understandable. But you got to the guy and you helped him, and that's what counts. Someone did the same for my girlfriend/now wife once and it saved her life. They stood next to her, reaching through the broken window, with their hand pressing on an artery and talking calmly until the paramedics arrived. She doesn't remember that event, thankfully. She survived, but severely disabled. If that person hadn't been there, she would almost certainly have died in the car. I spoke to him after the event - he was understandably shaken up, but at the same time very humble. He kept repeating that anyone else would have done the same thing. I'm not sure everyone's capable of reacting like that, but I'm glad he was.
