The Question: You’re driving alone on your way home on a clear night and out of nowhere it begins pouring down rain to the point you have to slow your speed considerably. You’re on a two-lane street, so you pull over to the lane closest to the sidewalk and notice a woman caught out in the downpour with no umbrella, pushing one child in a stroller and balancing another child on her hip. What do you do?

My 2 Cents: It’s night and I’m alone. My first consideration would be my safety.

In a drenching downpour, what looks like a woman with two children may not be a woman with two children. I’d follow my spirit. If I felt at all hesitant about opening my car door, I wouldn’t do it. If, however, nothing is my spirit was nagging me to keep it moving, I’d stop and give the woman a ride.

By the by, I’ve found myself in this situation more than once. More times than not, I’ve given folks rides, even if it was a man walking alone. If my spirit isn’t unsettled about offering assistance, I offer assistance no matter who it is or under what circumstances.

itbtcDavis  I’d offer her a ride. The kids did it 4 me, otherwise she would have been sol.

ankomaguy  i can’t give her a lift for some reasons so, i will call 911 and get her a help.

NightShade10  Never had happen but did pick up a senior citizen in the cold was walking and took her home (would offer a ride or phone call)

TankaBar_JasonD  I would give them a ride to where they needed to go just for the kids.

tclarkusa  I’d prob give them a ride or at least offer her an umbrella. I usu. have one in my car.

Quintessence_T  oh i’ve done this plenty times–i’d pick her up & carry her where where she needs to go-(would hope some1 wud do the same 4 me)

BLKMGK  I’ve had this happen to me. I offer them a ride.

JoshDamage  offer a ride without hesitation, a woman with two kids doesn’t exactly scream danger or kidnapper ya know?

md20737  I pray its not a scheme to kidnap me and let her in.

Suezeta  It would be heartless not to insist that she get in the car and take her where she needs to go….Also a moral responsibility to find out if everything is ok and is it anything she may need besides a ride.
