Driving down that narrow little road near San Francisco on my way to the city (I love that little road <3) I came a cross a little car stuck on a rock on the side of the road next to the rest stop on a hill. His wheels would not grip because they could not touch the ground. Who knows he got stuck there. He asked for help while I was driving by and although I could simply say "F7+Enter, dude" as I probably should have I decided to be a good Samaritan and do my kindness gesture of the day. I pulled up at the rest stop, asked what was the situation and offered to give him a push. He accepted so I detached my trailer at the rest stop so it wouldn't block any traffic if there happened to have any, drove down to the car and gently pushed the thing back into the road. He thanked, I responded and each followed our paths.
It was fun. I love being nice. lol

this sounds so much like something that happened to me going back a month or so ago, same stretch of road, I was heading up the winding section with the cliffs either side, until I came across a guy who looked to have tried to avoid oncoming traffic, but slid off the side and down into the valley below, I should have said to him "F7 + enter" and driven on, but I decided to pull forward a little and asked him if he wanted help, he said yes so I went to the rest area, dropped my trailer out of everyone's way, spun around and dived off the side of the road, careful not to roll myself, then got behind him and used low gears to push his truck up onto the road enough that he could get grip, as soon as we made some headway and he got a little grip, enough to pull slowly forward, his truck ran out of fuel, so sadly he had to F7, but it was fun to actually try and rescue someone and do something nice for others.
The 162 is always a bad stretch of road if you go too fast.

As nice as that road is, it's completely unrealistic. In real life it is a two lane country road with fields, and turns into a 4 to 6 lane freeway. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.0131765,-121.3421152,3a,75y,56.54h,76.05t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s1A7Ts9yx1KwRZzrfxvm2tA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D1A7Ts9yx1KwRZzrfxvm2tA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D161.54073%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656
