There is a good simaritan law here in Germany. You have to carry a first aid kit, rubber gloves, safety vest, and a blanket if you pass by an accident, you can be charged. Not as strictly enforced these days, but still there. The other night, there was a documentary on TV where they were testing folks with a staged accident. The police would take a picture of passing cars and radio a cop down the road to stop the car and ask why they didn't stop. Some said they didn't see anything until thecop showed them the picture of them slowing down to look, one said they had an appointment, and another one said that if the folks couldn't learn to drive, he didn't have time for them. All were German. Of the 15 or 20 that stopped, 2 were German, the rest were Turks, Russians, Greek, and Polish. Guess that goes to the comfort and entitlement arguement.
I ran out of gas once on the Autobahn (big NOGO) and was walking to the next exit (bigger NOGO) in broad daylight. Noone stopped to offer a ride, two cops passed and didn't even stop to give ma a ticket, and a few folks gestured their IQ. A truck driver from Kosovo stopped with a double trailer, took me to the gas station and back to my car and waited til I drove off. Cost him a good hour and he wouldn't take anything. I had his name and got the company address off his truck and sent him a bottle of Jack Daniels (don't know if he got it).
