Done my good deed for the day…
Was going up A34 just north of Didcot and caught a distinct whiff of clutch from somewhere around me. Car a couple of vehicles in front started to slow so was passed by the vehicles behind it and as I drew up closer it started indicating left and heading to the verge and stopped.
So instead of whipping around it I slowed right down, hazards on and stopped in lane one of this national speed limit road which has no hard shoulder but it isn’t a smart motorway so is apparently fine 
I could then see the driver was an elderly lady so I got out, asked if she was OK and she said she thinks her clutch had gone. And it had, and it was stuck in gear. So I got her out of the car, she called the RAC, I called the police and ten mins later they arrive to give a bit more prior warning and protection and I went on my merry way with thanks from the old lady and the cops.
It made me feel warm and fuzzy. Slightly.

what do you want, a medal?
Good one. Could have been a nasty if she had decided to sit in the car waiting for help to arrive.
