Canadian Police Say Don't Lie on Road to Get Help
Tue Apr 19, 2005 08:45 AM ET

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Police in a Vancouver suburb issued an unusual warning to drivers on Monday: If you run out fuel, do not lay down on the road to get assistance.

Police were alerted to a man's body laying along the Trans Canada Highway in the predawn darkness only to discover he was "quite alive," but that his car had run out of gas and he "wanted to attract someone's attention."

"Guess it worked, but police don't really recommend this method," the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Burnaby, British Columbia, said in a press release.

The man's car was towed, but no charges were filed.

It was in kindergarden that THEY taught me not to lie in the road. It was a public school too.

Its kind of a good idea though...i mean people normally wouldnt stop, although if they think your dead, youll have a whole mess of people coming to see what happened.

Or not. people normally just drive down the road and don't pat too much attention at that time of the morning. It's a good way to commit suicide though.

Im sure youve been in morning traffic from time to time. Many cases its caused by an accident and people stopping and looking at what happened. If they see a guy lying next to his car, im sure someone will stop.
