I didn’t see any phones (as I was pre-occupied) but the time I helped a motorcyclist who had been side-swiped off his bike and was laying flat on his face. There was a bus FULL of people gawping at us. The only people helping were me and the bus driver. Obviously the bus was going nowhere quick so why did no one get off and help?
I had to lift/shove his bike out of harms way (cars were driving at it/round it at 40 in a 40 (it was at a junction/lights leading onto the 40 dual carriageway). I also had to stand infront of the rider to prevent said-cars from driving to close. Soon as a Police van turned up I left. Up until that point it no one moved forward. Just stared.
Why are people like that? Wont intervene/get involved? ‘Not their job’?
Conversely a recent occurrence was a beemer X1 series that had ploughed over armco into small trees on a sliproad bend on a motorway. Police were on scene and we were waived through- as I drove passed I noticed at least EIGHT passersby from numerous cars swarming the car/helping out.
