Noticing that his helmet was hanging from the side of his motorcycle rather than being worn, she sensed something was wrong and realised the bike's fuel injector warning light was flashing, suggesting a mechanical fault.In her video, the elderly man can be seen attempting to restart his bike by physically pushing it, but to no avail. She gets off the bike to help, while apologising to motorists behind, as the traffic lights had turned green. He then tells her that he could not push the bike, and she instinctively helps him move it onto the pavement nearby.
