    Had something similar happen in spring here a few years ago, lady in a motorized chair actually fell on her side off the sidewalk onto the slush on the side of the road and as I drove towards her in my truck I watched people in cars swerve around her and keep going! Used the truck to block traffic until we got her up, cops showed up at the end and thought I ran her over for a minute! Doughnut shop only minutes away must have slowed response time. Guy in the vid had a sharp eye, I likely would not have realized she was stuck while concentrating on traffic.

    Good job Roadster Guy can't blame the cop in a way as they are so used to bad guys.

    Likely somewhat my fault, truck blocking traffic, overturned motorized chair, and I'm kind of a dick sometimes.

    I agree, and after watching the vid I was impressed that the motorcyclist noted the motorized wheelchair was immobile and not just stopped for a minute. That guy had a good eye for sure.

    I'm not sure I would have recognized she was stuck and not just trying to get a close look at the plants. He did good!
