Always try to eye ball the situation before stopping to help folks in Baja and US, so far no regrets. Few years back some of our guys riding MCs between El Rosario and Catavina ran out of gas, Mexican guy stopped and gave them gas but wouldn't take any money.

On my very first trip to Baja in 2000 I was co-dog and is was not the drivers first trip. He told me that if the person on the side of the road is holding a can or container upside-down that they were in distress and it's bad luck to pass them. I believe in Baja Karma. Thanks for the warning about the begging gypsies.

What kind of person brings an empty can with them? Most people with an emergency have no can. doh

I guess I'm that kind of person.

I fairly often have a can with me, especially if on a long camping trip...
