It was Bin Laden’s brother, I know, a rubbish joke, but how could the driver refuse ?
How ironic that it was a Polo, which was recently sold on TV as the safe, reliable car to give your daughter when she went away to college.
If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen, eh?
NB: Do we really want people who become hysterical when their car breaks down to become doctors?
Wowza…must be a trucking Superhuman to push a VW Polo…all on his own 
. A quick look at the spec sheet and the heaviest one comes in at just over 1t…about the same as a pallet of water…moved a few of those up/down a wagon…on my own!!!

Wow, what a couple of sarky cynics, lol.
Mum might have been OTT in description of event, etc. I would have been quite chuffed about this ‘knight of the road’ and his action ( if true).
It IS actually quite scary being on a hard shoulder in fast moving busy traffic. Only happened to me twice (in my car). The worst one was at night on the M621 when I could smell and see smoke coming from the drivers door pocket ( mea culpa!). Was panicking about how I could smother it out as I didn’t have any water handy. Did it eventually, but in the time, 2 traffic police cars sailed by casually, and continued their sail by, lol.
So, good on that trucker, I say!!! 
Hiya one person has a good word to say about us truckers and 1000 come out of the wood work taking the ■■■■,

Dry your eyes FFS, no one is taking the ■■■■ out of his actions, people are just doing what working men have done for generations, which is make lighthearted comments. Stop being so precious.
And 000’s more take things to seriously…maybe that’s why ‘the jobs no good’…can’t do this, don’t do that blah blah. Bet ya bottom dollar, if the first half dozen posts were praising ‘the driver’ to the hilt, someone would’ve said about about ‘stopping on a motorway’ etc etc…and the next one along would’ve been spouting 'why on earth did nobody stop and help out the poor girl…damned if you do…
Serious comment… Well done that person!
Not serious comment… Don’t jugg lest ye be jugged!
global.

Well said.
Actually if you read it it was in roadworks, no hard shoulder.

Well said, couldn’t agree more! !
Well, one dark and freezing night on the top of a hill on a main road in the Cotswolds I was riding my motorbike home after a hard day in the office in Dartford, Kent (a long commute, especially in the winter on a motorbike), when I came across a queue of traffic.
I filtered to the front where I found a broken-down car with two fat women in it. I told them I would push their car to the side of the road. Neither fat woman bothered getting out of the car.
At first I could not move the car, at all.
I then discovered that the fat woman in the driving seat had not bothered to release the handbrake. I had to explain to her that she would have to do this and also steer for the bank.
Everyone who was waiting in the traffic queue watched this happen: no one bothered to help.
I did push the car over to the side of the road. Neither of the fat women said thank you.
The end.
