the old australia had killer hitch hikers, i reckon i would stop if it was a car accident or something but you never know what could happen if you stop for some one and give them a lift to the nearest town

Thats what RACQ is for .... Never stop. I used to think it was fine to pull over and help out but a mate in darwin did this and was ambushed by 5 aboriginals and had his car stolen (later found burnt) and was bashed within a inch of his life. Since then i keep driving unless i see a crash then im flying by.

What a crap poll. To insinuate that because somebody doesn't stop to help you out they are selfish s.o.b's is plain wrong. There could be any number of reasons why they didn't stop and to assume that because you have a problem the world is obligated to bail you out is offensive.
For the record, in the country I probably would stop but around town I normally don't bother.

Depends, i would never stop with my wife and kids on board but if it's on a busy road with plenty of people about then i would be happy to help if i could.
I was in a situation where i guy stopped for me years ago when i had broken down and he called the racv for me, saved me from spending the night on a country road!

I sometimes stop.
Around town i don't really mind (unless on my way to work) but if i'm just out for a thrash, i'll stop and help.
one weekend i helped 3 people out with flat tyres (well one actually ran over some poly pipe, but i helped him either way)
Also out in the country i'd be hesitant to stop and help someone, but if you can see there genuine (like a little old lady not knowing whats going on) i'd gladly stop. In the case of the Aboriginal laying in the middle of the road, thats clearly an ambush. Most truck don't even swerve for them anymore
Oh, and for the record, i also broke down in the country. Had my box seize up about 40k's from Hay. Yes its frustrating seeing all those empty car carriers not willing to stop. In the end RAA (or whatever NSW have) came and towed the car, then RAA paid to get it back to adelaide.
