I&#x27;m approaching the car at 30-70 mph from an oblique angle and trying to determine both the car and occupant status and whether I can safely get over and stop. I also wasn&#x27;t expecting the situation, because I was out going about my business.<p>I admit that if the car was occupied by 6 elderly females, each with a pistol in one hand, a grenade in the other, and a deranged look in their eyes, that I wouldn&#x27;t stop, but realistically, I&#x27;m making the call on occupant likely threat level to me primarily on gender and age, as if they&#x27;re in the car, I can only see their shoulders and head.<p>In a good Samaritan situation like this, I have to be right every single time. One (more) mistake, and I can end up in a really bad spot and that&#x27;s just not worth it to me or my family. For most false positive cases (where I drive past someone who posed no threat [which of course is most people on the side of the road]), they&#x27;re going to get help inside of an hour or two from the police or AAA anyway.
