What better way to start any day than with the story of a random act of kindness?

We got an email in from Elaine yesterday, around midday, to ray at darcydaily.com.

Hi Ray.

Just to give a big boule of bus to a truck driver's act of kindness and frankly putting his safety on the line this morning.

Cue traffic noises.

At 8.15 this morning, Wednesday, it was the usual madness on the M50 just before the southbound Finglas exit, Junction 3.

A red Fiat 500 had stalled in the fast lane.

I can only imagine the panic of the driver on what to do next.

It would put the fear of God in me with 20 plus years of driving experience.

So this poor L driver was no doubt out of her mind with fear.

As I rolled to a stop, two or three cars behind her...

I spotted her saviour, a truck driver, with a shipping container load.

I think it was branded Maersk.

He was in the lane to her left, and rather than drive by on someone else's problem, he stopped his truck and jumped out.

At the time I was wondering what is this madman with a death wish up to stopping in the central lane of the M50 just at the cusp of one of its busiest junctions.

It then became apparent that not only was he doing horror solid but all the rest of the traffic heading in the same direction.
