...Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...
Er...actually...no.
It was a pickup on fire on the shoulder of the motorway. 
As in all good Christian countries, everybody just drove right on past. Anyway, talking on their 'phones at 120kmph was much more important than helping out a fellow countryman.  Fortunately, I keep a fire extinguisher in the car, and doing my good Samaritan bit, soon got it out. The poor bloke called a rescue truck, and I last saw him loading the dead beast onto the back of the truck. I now have to find another fuel-fire extinguisher. 
My next job is looking for some glittering C-beams, but I don't know where the Tannhäuser Gate is. Can anybody help me out here?

A couple of weeks ago we saw a smoking BMW on the hard shoulder and, unlike the rest of the traffic for 15 minutes, pulled over and checked that everyone was safe and the fire brigade had been called.
After a few minutes the first bang, probably air bags, was shortly followed by large flames and billowing smoke - the traffic still carried on.
The blowing of the battery and some impressive low flying wheel trim as the tyres gave way did nothing to slow down the traffic.
Then the best bit, the traffic HELD UP THE FIRE ENGINE! After the fire crew was on site and, 1 minutes work, the fire was out they thanked me for stopping and gave a well chosen OpEd on the state of the rest of humanity...

Back in the 80's a famer that his remote hay sheds kept getting burned. Must have happened half a dozen times.
The fire brigade had a call out charge that was not met by insurance so it was more cost effective to let it all burn and claim it than call the fire brigade and try to salvage something!
Amazing actuarial prowess in action by the insurance people.

Are you kidding? It should be a free public service, and only violations as fake calls should be made paid for. What country it was?

And I thought in Italy we were over-taxed... It is criminal for a State to put a fee over national safety services precisely because both poor and overconfident or tight people would not call them, leading to potential disasters.

No good deed goes unpunished! Unless you're Superman and can just blow the fire out, of course.

Many years ago I was working midnight-8am shift, and I drove past a small shed fire in the middle of the night next to a home. I had a fire extinguisher so I stopped, and while I was there I called the fire dept on my cellphone.
Big mistake.
The cops accused me of starting the fire and questioned me for 45 minutes until they finally accepted my story and let me leave.
I learned my lesson.

I wish I lived in a country like that  In the UK any such incident reduces both directions of the motorway to a crawl as the people on the opposite side slow down to rubberneck.

While I understand your frustration, it is hardly a religious affiliation - they same could happen in any country with any faith or non-faith system.
Why don't people stop? They don't think they can help, they don't have the tools or knowledge to help (not everyone carries a fire extinguisher), not everyone has a a cell phone, SOME may have had pressing engagements. All of this is to say... not all people are uncaring, they may have their reasons.
