This morning my car broke down on Citylink

It was right before the start of the lane forming for the Punt Road exit during peak hour.

Car shut down completely. Nothing. Hazard lights wouldn't function.

I have never been more terrified hoping that people realise my car was not moving and wouldn't ram the back of me at speed. This, in my mind, was a high chance of happening as it was right when a new lane was forming so people getting excited and speeding up.

And then she appeared, my guardian angel. Holly, stopped her car behind me, put her hazards on and waited for an hour until Citylink Incident Repsonse arrived.

Holly also calmed me down and reminded me to stay in my car as it is safer.

Once Citylink arrived, I went to thank her. She had a toddler in the car with her.

It was hot, it was not her responsibility to do that, yet she did. Such an awesome act of kindness. Made this mid40s man tear up.

I've tried to message her, with no luck. I even tried to payID her some money as a thank you (even if she just used it as a gift for her child) but she isn't set up for it.

Holly, of you're reading this, thank you so much.

And for everyone else reading this, please slow down when passing a car that has broken down, and don't honk your horn at them. It's terrifying enough as it is.

Edit: Thank you for the gold. Not sure what it is or does, but I appreciate it. I also appreciate all the love going out to Holly.
