In this part of the country, that would involve at least five people in pickup trucks or SUVs asking if they could help you in the first minute you were stopped.

Here, we would stop to offer assistance if need. Then, you would be "persuaded" to move on.
If you refuse, you would be considered part of the road, and treated accordingly.
(It's bad division, but a 20,000 lb. tractor will go over a 2,000 lb. Prius ONE time, with nothing left over!)
