A few weeks ago me and the gf were driving home and i seen 2 kids in honda civics drag racing. One of them wanted to try and drift his car through the left hand turn (through the median) and go into the parking lot. Lost control ended up going 180 in the ditch. The girlfriend asked me if i was gonna stop and make sure they were alright. I pulled into tim hortons so she could get a coffee and i called the cops and reported them. Theres no legal obligation saying i have to stop and help them, even with first aid training. (At least not in this province)

No, the major part of that Good Samaritan law is that it protects you if you do help someone w/o medical training. As for those with training, I think it's required that they help someone in need, otherwise they could lose their license if it's found that they don't (this is what I hear from friends that are RNs and such).
Either way, if someone's seriously injured and innards are exposed or there's a lot of blood, and I decide to stop and help - There's going to be one extra body to pick up off of the ground, 'cause I'll pass out from that stuff.  I can't handle too much blood or anything exposed that shouldn't be.
