Well we got everything hooked up and when I was pulling him out of the ditch the chain came loose and pulled what was left of his bumper off.. It was already mostly destroyed from going over the side but he still called the cops on me saying I needed to pay for it... Needless to say you need to choose wisely on who you pull out incase any damage occurs.

I don't pull unknown people out, gave up on that long ago. I will offer them my phone or take them to a place were they can get a tow truck or a ride. If I get stuck/break down I call a tow truck that way if they mess up my truck they can be held responsible for any damage done.

I haven't had the opportunity to pull someone out yet this season. Most of the times if it is someone I don't know who ends up in the ditch it's because they were either drunk or drugged. I've seen skid marks of some bad slip into the ditch episodes, some even happening without any ice snow or mud... Just dry gravel/dirt mix on the roads, someone took a curve to fast... The county is terrible about roads out here... They grade all the gravel into the ditches so that the roads are mud, and then they make the curves angle the opposite way they should so it is really easy to slide off of the road. You can be going 35 MPH on the road and then have to slow down to 15 to make a turn safely on one or two of them. Annoying. Maybe they get paid by the body shops to do this (Conspiracy?)?
