Do you check on/help out a stranded motorist, Veeky Forums?

Depends

Scandinavian or mid/western european plates; sure
Eastern european plates; No, except for polish. Poles are bros

Helped plenty of winter tourists by pulling them out of ditches, helping to put on chains or simply by forcing them to call a truck and have their car transported to town because they shouldn't be out on the fucking norwegian country roads in mid-fucking-January, on Pirelli summer tires and having stopped by the roadside because the car slid 200 feet as soon as the salted roads stopped and the idiot fucking spaniard driver slammed the brakes

Yes, but whites only and no BMW 3 series by default.
-t. german

depends on how shit of a car it is (so i avoid vauxhalls by default). there is a linear relationship between ropy cars and the likelihood of getting abducted and sold to a chinese business man as his play thing

also there was this creepy webm i saw a while ago of dashcam footage at night where a guy had his hazards on and was trying to wave people down. the kind-hearted driver slows down and is about to stop but the dude flagging the car down tries to open the car door so the driver floors it immediately.

the reality of the world is that you are probably safer if you interact with fewer people, especially on roads. some people just wanna exploit people's good nature and ruin it for everyone

Don't worry, nobody is desperate enough to want you as their plaything.

Why push the car to the air compressor, was it not starting also?

Pre 2010 I would have (Europoor).

Now it's most likely just a trap to get robbed.

I don't mind people saying no, but her tone was like I'm retarded for asking such a huge favor that only a professional from AAA could handle

Having a truck with a winch in places where it snows a fuck ton is a great way to get pussy.

Only if it's convenient for me.

I.E. the guy parked next to me happens to be struggling with something simple and I can save his day.

But, I'm not going to pull over from my 80MPH highway cruise to help you put on your spare tire 9/10 times.
