Default Had To Pass A C3 Apparently Broken Down

It was a blue 80, 81, or 82. He was on top of the highest bridge in town. Eight lanes and lots of fast traffic. I was on the outside lane and he was on the narrow edge on the inside. There was no way I could stop to help him out. I feel sorta bad about it.

We were in the "grocery getter" and it was full of groceries. Getting out on top of that bridge is taking life into your own hands. Absolutely, suicide!

In the mornings there are wreckers at each end of the bridge to haul off anyone with a problem, but not on Saturday afternoons. I have never passed a broken down vette before. :eek:

I know what you mean. I stopped for a C4 driver this week myself. They ran out of gas. At least it was minor.

You did right, sometime you can't do anything , but call 911 and report it. I saw a C4 on the south bound side of GA 400(a 2 lane with medium autobon 75+mph) and I was north bound. :seeya

thats ok because somebody like me will come along. i always try to stop and i play on the hwy all the time. if your not use to it you can get fudge into the crack really fast when a 18 wheeler goes by and the bridge moves :) . the only time i did not stop for a vette was because he had his wrecker there as i went by.
