I was only in my teens when, late at night, my Datsun ended up dangling off a median strip. Bracing to be harassed, I walked into a truck stop to ask for help …
TL;DR
- A 17-year-old driver had her first car, a Datsun, get stuck on a median strip.
- She feared approaching a truck stop late at night but was seeking help.
- Truck drivers came to her aid, stopping traffic and lifting her car.
- The experience taught her that people who appear intimidating can be kind.
