I have pulled a few out and drove away from a couple. Always stop and ask if someone needs help. Although after the number of vehicles with summer tires stuck on the side roads due to the snow in Edmonton this last week I may change my mind on this.
Best of the pull outs was a couple of old ladies that went off the road down by Hanna one summer and got tangled up in some brush and the farmers fence. My buddy got underneath to hook up the tow rope and found they had dragged a long dead deer from the ditch with them. He was pretty green getting back to the truck. We escorted them to Hanna and just before getting in checked to see how they were doing. They said there was a bad odor and we recommended the local garage (we knew the handy man) for an under carriage wash.
On the no's I have seen a few early morning fellows in the ditch. When you check they are physically ok but still have not reached the hang over stage so they stayed put --- took a phone number and made a call for them--- safer that way for everyone.
