Da Nang man helped a stranger by offering his vehicle’s gasoline\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Running out of gas in the middle of the road<\/strong>, especially on an elevated one such as a bridge, is every commuter\u2019s nightmare. Besides, ending up in such a predicament when the nearest gas station is 2KM away<\/strong> would add enormously to their anxiety and exhaustion.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the woman in this story didn\u2019t have to go through that situation for long, because a selfless stranger suddenly turned up<\/a> and transferred gasoline from his own <\/strong>motorbike<\/strong><\/a> to hers<\/strong> so that she could continue riding.<\/p>\n

According to Facebook user Ho\u00e0ng Nguy\u00ean V\u0169<\/a> who shared the story, a woman and her son<\/strong> were riding a motorbike on the bridge when the woman\u2019s motorbike ran out of gasoline.<\/p>\n

In a situation like this, a commuter usually has no other choice but to walk their motorbike down the bridge, which can be very dangerous and exhausting due to the slope of the bridge and the weight of the motorbike.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seeing the woman and her son struggling <\/strong>to push their motorbike when the sun was at its peak, a male commuter pulled over and offered to help.<\/p>\n

Knowing that the nearest gas station was about 2KM away, he quickly removed gasoline from his own motorbike and poured it into the woman\u2019s motorbike.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

This amount of gasoline would be about enough to keep her motorbike running for at least another 2KM to the nearest gas station, where she could then top up her gas tank.<\/p>\n

Netizens were impressed by the man\u2019s gesture<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

The kind gesture of the man garnered 10,000 likes<\/strong> and thousands of comments at the time of writing. Many netizens expressed their admiration for his selfless act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf only everyone in our society had a heart as big as this young man\u2019s,\u201d Facebook user Quy Phan <\/a>commented on the post.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>The story also inspired other netizens to share their similar experiences.<\/p>\n

Facebook user Hue Tran<\/a> shared, \u201cThere are many good people out there. I was in the same situation (as the woman) and was offered help by a GrabBike<\/a> driver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luck also smiled on Facebook user Tu\u1ea5n Nguy\u1ec5n<\/a> who shared how he was offered help by a stranger when running out of gas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in the middle of nowhere when my motorbike ran out. A lady passed by and transferred a large amount of gasoline from her own motorbike to mine. I offered her some money<\/strong> in return but she refused to take it<\/strong>. She didn\u2019t look rich, but she was so kind. I have so much admiration for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

The good Samaritan in the story sets a great example of drivers\u2019 ethics<\/strong>, and how we can strive to be more willing to help people in need. He could have<\/strong> driven on<\/a> to escape the harsh weather<\/a>, but he stopped and went the extra mile to help a woman and her son who were struggling.<\/p>\n

However, the story also reminds us to make adequate preparations before hitting the road by running a check on your vehicle to see if it\u2019s still filled with gas and if the engine is still working fine. Do not ride onto the streets when your gas tank is low<\/strong>, because sometimes you never know how far the nearest gas station is.<\/p>\n
