Help needed

YEARS ago I was a nurse in the British Army in Germany and a nurse’s first propriety is to help people.
Today 28 January I was on my way home from shopping at Fountain Gate and as I crossed over the railway tracks at Narre Warren Station I pointed out to my wife an old man lying face down on the footpath.
I don’t know if he fell or collapsed but very unfortunately I was unable to stop because some idiot driver was right behind me, but I wondered just how long the man had been there and why nobody had stopped to give assistance.
It seems these days people only think about themselves. As for the idiot driver, I hope he or she knows that it is an offence to tailgate.
D. Gardner,
Hampton Park.
