I think it's more of a "Is this driver a creep, or not a creep" kind of thing, I guess you are both probably very nervous about giving a stranger a ride. I wish someone normal would give me a ride, out of this shittγ town.

Never pick up hitchhikers. You run the risk of physical danger and your insurance will NOT cover you.


?
Not really a good idea.

Sometimes I do. It depends on where I am and who they are. I kind of go by a very well developed sixth sense of who is safe and who is not . In my wild child youth I had managed to hitchhike coast to coast six times and visit about 40 US States . I trust my ability to seperate the good guys from the bad guys.

Never pick up a hitch hiker,Use your cell phone and call 911 if you think the hiker is in trouble but do not even stop.It is now considered really stupid to pick up anyone that you dont know,ask anyone that has been hyjacked and hurt by doing such a thing...

me personally i wouldn't in this day and age you don't know what sort of people they are they could be rapist of murderers and wouldn't put my self in that situation were i needed help to get some were

no would be the safest and best way to go. i would say better safe than sorry. even if i was in need of help i personally would not hitchhike. its dangerous either situation that you are in.

In general I do, but I'm a solidly built male so I don't appear as too much of a target, but I just go by a gut instinct. And well I'm still here so it hasn't harmed be but being a night-time petrol station operator I'm always in high risk environment so I don't think too much of it. So my advice would be If you feel comfortable with it go for it, If not don't because the uncertainty will make you more likely to be a target


BoyDude
Why would you want to do that. Use some common sense., I think he or she can manage to get were their going with-out your help. COMMONSENSE remember that word. and you will stay off milk cartons
