I happened to be traveling North on Canal St (in the opposite direction) yesterday and observed the woman in distress along the other side of the road. Saw the golf cart with husband and the other golf cart pulled alongside offering assistance. I also saw the car sitting there impatiently, not going around the folks rendering aid and thought that's dumb...just go around. It was a very low speed area, just a little inside the gate at Stillwater/Canal. It was not a dangerous situation for the car.
Thank you to the OP for stopping to offer help for all the possible reasons folks have offered here. To the impatient driver and others who hold an absolute view of law enforcement, common sense and decency prevailed in this instance.... helping a fellow human in need trumps a minute of inconvenience.
