No way. That would not mean you were chivalrous at all. It would mean you were a sucker. I'd have been sorely tempted to have driven off with her spare tyre as well.
There is no way this woman would have apreciated it if the op had helped her, She would have just thought that he was a fool and that she was gods gift.
It's one thing to help someone in need, that is chivalrous, but to fall for a cheap scam like that...
My husband did the same once against his better judgement. He was flagged down by a woman asking him for a lift. She looked a bit distressed. She gave him a phone number and he rang it . Turns out that she had suffered a lucid moment and wandered off, came round and didn't know the way home. She did have her aunt's phone number in her bag but no moblie. My husband phoned it and her very relieved auntie directed my husband to drive the lost woman home.
It was a huge risk taken by my husband. But luckilly the woman checked out to be genuinely lost and not too well.

Plenty of blokes don't change tyres either
Having two broken fingers would make it hard for the OP too.
It isn't the easiest job to do.
Exactly! I'm not surprised all the knights in shining armour on their high horses forgot that.
If the lady mentioned in the OP wished to keep her fingernails nice, she should have joined the AA or RAC.
In general, I don't. If my family are using the car, I leave things to the professionals.
Glad I don't live in your world.

Why a "huge risk"?
