Yeah, most likely if I were in your situation hindi ako tatabi. Marami kasi ang mayabang na flash lights + hazard + busina to weave through traffic. Marami na ako naeexperience, mga ricer boys, mga kala mo kung sino.
Yun na nga lang siguro gawin mo sir, put a BIG emergency sign sa harap. And for sure when other motorists see this, tatabi na sila.
I doubt if GM's/jimnyeatworld's advice would work. Mahuli ka pa, akalain ng pulis ... wangwang yan.
Good thing that your pop is in good shape. Hoping that you will never get into the same situation again ...
