Last night around 11pm was driving up Great Eastern Highway,when i reached Guildford, saw the on the inside lane cars had come to near standstill.

A 20 year/old or so aboriginal girl was lying down in the middle of the left lane.She would then get up,move to verge then walk back on the road staggering about.

I passed her,turned right 10m ahead at the traffic lights,drove into the garage and told the guy working there to call the cops,which he already had.

Walked across the busy dual lanes,then i tried to lift her off the road but she was like a beached whale.

Standing on middle of left lane i then tried to halt the traffic,which nearly got her ran over as i was blocking the view to her lying on the road.They seemed indifferent to stopping for me waving my hands,standing in upright position than to body lying on the road.

So i managed to get her to stand up and pulled her onto the footpath.For the next 5-6 minutes i had to wrestle with her as she kept trying to run onto the road shouting i want to kill myself.I got her into some kind of police hold and managed to pull her screaming across the road into the relative safety of the garage.

The police arrived just as i got her across the road,interesting with no sirens going.Yes garage attendant it was an emergency!

Donations please.

Nice work, seriously, but a true hero doesn't ask for a reward.
Once you start asking for a reward, it makes people question your motives for helping in the first place...

Good job mate!

Everyone deserves a self esteem booster and bragging rights every now and then. We don't all want to be righteous do gooders who keep things to themselves do we?

Actually he does deserve a medal or notoriety. If we as a society took notice and gave more accolades to those that do the simply good human thing to do then we may have a society that actually look out for other as opposed to looking the other way!!!.
Yes applaud true heroism and extreme acts of bravery, but simple applause and notice of true decent acts should to be noticed!

She probably saw you coming and was the same woman who was doing some shopping last week with her young daughter.

Not wanting to have a crazy man preach anti-immunisation internet propoganda at her again, maybe she considered death by big truck to be a more pleasant experience ?


Alternatively maybe she read the Seabreeze Kitesurf forum and decided human evolution has peaked and has commenced a very rapid downwards spiral.

Or maybe she just just had a session at Pelican Point on a Stabber Kites Inc. prototype.

Maybe she just lived in Guildford ?

Well done Peter !! Gutsy effort !!!

Was being sarcastic when i said i deserve a medal.

Was surprised no-one was willing to stop and offer me help,despite my loud pleas for help.

Funny thing on saturday mid-night filling up on fuel,saw this this other male aboriginal at garage talking to two taxi drivers. Just about to drive away and he asks for lift home.

Driving 8km other direction, he starts talking about his 'speed' and offering me some for free. Saying it's $25 or $35 for a gramme or something.

I said don't touch them,then he asked am i married,do i have a girlfriend,then finally am i gay. Finally asking me if i've ever seen bbc.

All NO to above. He did thank me.

Your just as bad as the government interfering in every thing we do!

Who made you the fun police!
What rite do you have to play god with this girls life!

For F@#$sake get over your self :)

I hope that's an attempt at humour (I did see the smiley at the end)?!

Good work PM33, although I'm not a fan of suicide (very selfish, coward's way out), you probably saved the life of not only the girl, but possibly a car-load (bus-load) of people. Even if the driver & perhaps a family in the car that would've hit her survived, the mental trauma & ongoing issues can scar for life.

Agree with comments above, re;recognition for 'good-deeds'. More people should take the time to stop & help.

I'm still looking for the conspiracy theory..

With nowadays technology that is easy to protect yourself. Take a bit of time first and setup your smartphone camera on video on the side to record everything
start your rescue operation.
In any case this video recording will be best proof and used against you in court:
- that your rescue was unprofessional and cause risk to beneficiary
- you didn't ask victim for a consent
- you didn't explain all possible complication and consequences of your operation
- your recordings may have predatory intention and if victim is below 18 y.o. you are doomed for long
It just happens you have been in wrong place in wrong time, mate.

I gather she is now fully informed about chemtrails, fluoride, 911, aliens and "them"............
And begged the police / ambo's to take her away when they arrived.


Seriously though, well done Pete - I am astounded at the numbers of people who do sweet F.A if they see a crime or a person in need.

Whats even more hard to comes to terms with.. The person who potentially ran-over (9 points is it??????) this nutjob over could of been put in Jail????

I strongly think if your going to commit suicide do it behind closed doors Best way is bottle of tequila/vodka & hook up the tail pipe of your car to the window pass out for good.(company sent us on confined space GAS training the other week))
Very irresponsible way to neck yourself.
Peter saved a family man with 4 kids from being charged and put in jail !!!!
