At about 4:45pm on Tuesday 12th April 2011, a female
resident of West Grand Bahama, was driving her gold Chrysler car # 40929, west
along the Fishing Hole Road and upon entering the roundabout in the vicinity of
the Grand Bahama Shipyard, her vehicle's engine overheated and shut down,
leaving the driver and her three passengers, stranded.
Shortly afterward, Mr Hansel Rolle Jr of Holmes Rock,
passed by in his white and black Taxi van # 527 and upon noticing the lady and
her passengers stranded at the roadside, immediately pulled over and stopped to
assist.
After ascertaining the problem, Mr Rolle was able to get the
vehicle re-started and the lady and her passengers continued on their journey
into West Grand Bahama.
As a result of his considerate action in assisting a fellow
motorist in distress, Mr Rolle was nominated to receive the Most Courteous
Driver of The Quarter Award for March 2011. He was presented with an inscribed
mahogany plaque and a gift certificate for a full tank of gasoline.
