Kind Taxi Driver Helps Stranded Motorcyclist On Expressway
Everyday, there are unheard stories of kind-hearted people who go the extra mile to help strangers. This kind taxi driver is one of such individuals who make society a much better place.
According to Twitter user @mdhxmzxh, a helpful taxi driver drove him to the nearest petrol kiosk to get some fuel after his bike after it ran dry on the expressway on Thursday (28 Nov) night.
Ran out of fuel on the expressway
While riding on his motorcycle back home from work, the Twitter user’s bike suddenly broke down in the middle on the expressway. He realised that the fuel gauge was not working properly and showed that the bike still had fuel when in fact it did not.
With his phone out of battery and unable to call for help, he pushed his motorcycle to the nearest exit.
