So, the caption is incorrect...he didn't leave his car stuck in traffic, but pulled off legally once the road was no longer driveable. People need to have accurate captions, or at least expect comments that come from being mislead.
There was severe flooding in the area at the time, and he had driven as far as he could. He parked up safely, and changed into his running gear he keeps in is car. His only concern was getting home so he didnt miss her birthday. He is super fit and does alot of running anyway, but 16 miles in near darkness, on flooded country roads, thats a hero for any little girl.
Richard is so loyal he back his friend that beats people for serving cold meats at dinner. True friends need steak at night and slap any that oppose them. True fact. Happy birthday to his little girl.
I can't even walk up a hill without getting tired.
