No where near what the OP went through, but yesterday while driving to the store, there were some large garbage cans being blown all over the road. Back and forth. People were damn near running into each other to avoid a empty plastic trash can.
So I figured it'd be the nice thing to do and get them out of the road, pulled over and drug them to someone's front yard. Traffic is not fast on this road, but it was heavy with everyone getting off of work. Damn near got run over twice. Both of the idiots were on their cell phones. I think I took 5 years off one of the ladies life when I yelled at her. She didn't even see me.

Every one seems to shirk their civic duty now days,
Taking a "let someone else deal with it"
But honestly, you could of saved a life, inattentive motorist and debris in the road is a danger.
From my narrow and limited experience it seems we have managed to raise a few generations that lost that civic mindedness where you looked out for your fellow man.

By the time you see it and it hits you that it's really something wrong, it was one of things where you are gone by so fast that you'd be a mile or more down the road by the time you get stopped.
I would have had to stop and get back along full speed traffic with not much shoulder to speak of and across it then deal with someone behaving erratically for unknown reasons, possibly putting both myself and her at more risk depending on the reaction to my intervention. Had I not been alone or even a man ... but I was and a woman.
