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.
