I can certainly understand a woman, especially with children on board, not stopping. It's just too risky.

Same for an older person and a teenager. I would be nervous about the possibly of my children doing so for a complete stranger.

Besides, what looks like a simple quick task, often ends up much more complicated. A person offering their help and car can end up with damage to THEIR vehicle if the process is not done properly.

People equip themselves and their car for cold and/or snow emergencies while on route. Why can they not do the same for this kind of circumstance? Particularly if they have an older model.

Instead of leeching on others to bail them out
