What would you have done in this situation?

Hi Guys,

Was travelling to work this morning and passed an AA van in the layby, next thing I see the guy screaming in the air, crying and kicking his van.

In a situation like this would you have stopped? My wife was going mental with me as I couldnt help it, had to stop and chat to him and ask what was up.

What would you guys do?

No idea but what was up with him?

Andi.

That would have been like a Green Flag to a bull...

if i wasn't in a mad rush, yea i would've stopped.
last thing you want is the chap, in a moment of madness, to do something stupid...
...and then reading about it on the news =x

Tell the god damn forum I posted this on what was wrong with the bloke.

IAmATeaf · 25 Mar 2015 at 11:53

So what was wrong with the bloke?

mg3091 · 25 Mar 2015 at 12:09

Plot twist: just got a phone call saying his wife's left him or a relative has died

Agreed

Someone probably died.

chrisoverson · 25 Mar 2015 at 14:04

I always feel a little guilty driving past someone that's broken down, I have stopped once or twice but I've never encountered this situation.

I'd like to think I would have stopped... but probably would have been in two minds. I hope he's okay, what happened?

Inb4 OP (maybe van driver disguised as OP) does a runner.
SO why was this guy upset??

This thread is like one of those terrible clickbait articles that look so interesting till you actually click on them!

Yes I would and have done so in the past.

In the case where I stopped, it was a Mondeo driver, suited & booted chap, he was inconsolable, turned out the guy had just been told over the phone his son had died in an RTA that morning.

Grace of God & all that, in a similar situation,God forbid, I'd hope somebody would stop for me.

OP, What was the reason in this instance?
