A couple of times I've stopped to help people and I don't regret it. Once I was in the car with a friend of mine and we stopped to pick up a teenager with a skateboard who'd missed the last bus home - he would have had to walk 3 hours in the dark on a busy road with no sidewalk. Another time I stopped to help a guy change a tire - we were on a busy freeway, and I figured someone would see if he tried anything funny, which he didn't, and he was extremely grateful.

I think the risk is greatly exaggerated compared to the good you can do.
