'''Hitchhiking at night''' is definitely not as easy as during daylight. But it's still possible, depending on the situation and location.
At [[petrol stations]] on highways in [[Western Europe]] you stand a fair chance, especially when trying to reach a bigger city.
Sometimes, especially but not exclusively at night, drivers will [[pick up a hitchhiker]] because they are tired and sleepy, but must get to their destination on time. Make sure you never fall asleep in someone's car if you are suspecting this might be the case. Even if you can't find a conversation topic, stay alert. If you have a driving license you might indicate your driver of this fact. In some cases he or she will be happy [[driving for your driver|to let you drive]].

In any case, try to stand in a well-lit place. Traffic lights are also OK.
