that does seem like it could have been setup but I'm thinking that maybe he was involved somehow and had the camera with him and was able to film while waiting. I've had my camera with me many times and if i got hit you could be sure that I'd be out there filming it for insurance purposes, that is if i can walk. I dont believe it was setup, that would just be too cruel.

So true -- I saw this clip on another post and still can't figure out why the driver
of the van left it sitting there. That in itself was sure cause for the stupidity that
accured after words. How do you Not see something Stopped in the middle of the
road! This is why my 40 minute commute home turns into a hour and a half :tap:
Keep your eye's on the road folk's and stay safe.

I seriously doubt it would be a setup. If it had been, then the person filming and the person who parked the van would be liable.

Once you get a stopped car on the side of a high speed expressway, it's only a matter of time.

I see this everyday in Phoenix. I always tend to pull over and help them push it out of the way, and then cuss them out for being a dumbass and not flagging others for help in the first place. I swear, if only I can get certified to hand out darwin awards!!!

OOOH, that reminds me. I was at MetroCenter last weekend over by the sprint store(in case people know where that's at. There is a light right next to the whataburger. Well, this guy was about 3 car lengths back from the light with his flashers going and everything. People would get behind him, seeing that he is dead in the water, and just lay on their horns, then show him he is number one, and then back up and peel outta there. I was like, dude this is rediculous, in Snowflake everyone gets out to help you.

My roommate and I parked at whataburger and ran over to his car, at first he was startled because he was on the phone and we ran up to each side of his car (I think anyone would mess themselves at that point). So, he was more than happy to get help with the heavy ___ car he was driving being a little guy himself. We were almost hit like 5 times just trying to get from the left lane to the right and around the corner into the parking lot.

Um, I think there was a point to this story, something like if you honked and passed someone broke down in the middle of road, they probably need help pushing and you should be ashamed of yourself for being selfish.:no: YA. I see it way too often.

Have a nice day:silly:

Have a nice day:silly: That's why I hate the big city. I'm from the south, where people give a hoot about each other. The city is full of @$#% and I cant stand it. But I cant move cause my wife hates the south so I am stuck. :?
