Police in a Vancouver suburb issued an unusual warning to drivers Monday: If you run out fuel, do not lay down on the road to get assistance.

Police were alerted to a man’s body laying along the Trans Canada Highway in the predawn darkness only to discover he was “quite alive,”but that his car had run out of gas and he “wanted to attract someone’s attention”.

“Guess it worked, but police don’t really recommend this method,” the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Burnaby said in a press release.

The man’s car was towed, but no charges were filed.
