I have had a few cases of trying to wave down people who are in their own world and oblivious. Few months ago a pop up camper running on the rim. I was not the first person, and they just keep driving. In traffic it is sometimes difficult to catch up.

Guy had a flat in town, pulled along side an waved every geature. He looked at me glared and when the light turned green he drove off.

People wave at me in the gmc all the time. Always in a panic, i check around. Make sure the coach is not on fire and all 6 wheels are still attached. Wave back as they are just complimenting the coach.

This would be a tough trend to get people to follow. I am happy they use turn signals and stop at red light(many do not in my town). Never go on green without looking.
Same situation -2 different scenarios:
Nearly midnight behind a semi with enclosed trailer - sparks flying off of one tire (meaning he had gotten down to bedrock on the tire)
Finally got by him and honking my horn and pointing down towards the tire and I went on (I'm thinking a Truck driver might be deeply suspicious if I did that whilst he was carrying some valuable cargo). Anyway he pulled into the same service station/motel I was at a good while later and said thanks (I guess he took down my license plate)
Scenario #2
I95 broad daylight right behind an older model Cadillac and then you hear the 'wac wac wac' of a flat tire from the Caddy. Pulled alongside them and did the same thing - honked horn and pointed at his wheel when out came a gun. 'Ooops time to go' and I dropped back a few vehicles. I guess that completes my 'Good Samaritan' exercise for this life.
.
Both scenarios are true. I'm guessing I might not play the "Good Samaritan' much more
