Jay you have been away from the States a long time my friend. You remember the US like I remember England, Polite curteous people. Not here anymore, you will get run down in crosswalks here. I was following an older women here in town in a car and she came up the entry ramp to I64 at like 35 MPH and then without looking tried to merge with traffic. There was bumper to bumper traffic in both lanes and she pulled out in front of a semi doing 75... She got rear ended and her car a 360 across both lanes and she ended up rear ending the fast lane guard rail and then ANOTHER semi ran over the front of her car.... I puled off WAY onto the grass and tried to cross traffic to help her. Can you friggin' believe nobody would slow down to let me cross !! Took me what seemed like forever to get to her, nobody wanted to get stuck behind the crash, they just wanted to get where they were going and frig the biddy who was bleeding to death in the car!! Amazing as it was she seemed relatively unhurt, complete blathering idiot from shock but I guess the car engine had caused the semis wheels to hop over her legs so she was relatively OK. The motor was IN the road with all fluids everywhere, Man it was hot as shit out and her car didn't have any glass left , I didn't have any water with me and it took what seemed forever for the emergency crews to get there. The whole time NOBODY else stooped to offer help.....
People are generally frigged.
