Oh, and just to clarify, I didn't expect the guy to push the car up the hill for me! We were stuck in snow, not on ice, and couldn't move anywhere, up, down, where ever. Reversing back down wasn't an option. We just needed pushed back out onto the road. Of course I don't expect all residents on hills to come out and re-enact Britain's Strongest Man and push all these cars up and over the hill. That would be unreasonable.
