Recently I was driving on the A2 towards London. As I approached the Sidcup-Blackfen exit my car slowed down and cut out. I tried to restart it but without success.
I was aware there was a build-up of traffic behind me so I attempted to push the car onto the small hard shoulder. All the time I was getting glares from the impatient drivers.
After contacting the AA, I prepared myself for the hour’s wait for help to arrive and hoped I had enough supplies for my 15-month-old daughter who was in the car.
My reason for writing is to say a big thank you to the lady who, in the queuing traffic, made sure I was all right and asked if I had a phone.
Also, I would like to thank the two men in a red car who offered to straighten my car up so the end was not sticking out into the local traffic lane and then towed me to the garage at Blendon Road.
I am glad to say there are still some good, caring people out there.
