To-day, when we were heading to the #DogWalk we went down the ploughed & salted glen road. It was easier to walk there than the deep snow on the verges.
As we were walking down, a large 4x4 tooted at us to get out of the way.
5 mins later, we caught up with the 4x4. It was stuck in the snow on the first uphill section. I offered them my "husky" to pull them up.
Later, we found the 4x4 abandoned at the bottom of the hill.
I had a friend who had two champion pulling dogs. Coming across a vehicle stuck in a ditch he offered to help. They laughed at his Suburau and said, "Sure."
He got his two dogs our, hooked them up to his truck and easily pulled out the vehicle.

Thing is, I know the guy. I don't think he recognised me, at first. Maybe he knows lots of folk with a large white dog. 🙄
Addendum:
When I offered him my "husky", he declined, but, he said "you can give us a push". To which I replied "ten men couldn't push you up that hill". 😃
@fitheach Once saw a bloke who'd stopped at the bottom of an icy hill then tried to advance by revving furiously and dropping the clutch, he was sat there with wheels spinning. not moving. He was really infuriated by other drivers not stopping at the bottom of the hill but just driving round him and going up the hill without issue.
@fitheach Exactly, and now he'd nicely polished the ice under his driving wheels it wouldn't be possible to go forward from that position at all. I did consider offering advice, e.g. back up a bit and take a run at it, but judging by the look on his face he wasn't in a receptive frame of mind 😡
