Changes

Applies only to highway hitchhiking. If your ride is only passing your destination and it's too far from the highway, make sure to get out on a petrol station to find a ride into town. Usually the last petrol station is well suitable for this, as you will find local and regional traffic to take you there.

Hitchhiking requires going into and leaving vehicles, sometimes very quickly depending on the situation. It happens easily that you forget an object, for example the map that you use to study the best place to change cars, or to know where about you actually are. Don't unpack anything, and keep your stuff in your pockets & bags. When getting out of the car always look at the seat to make sure nothing fell out! Also, vice versa, make sure to not accidentally take something that's not yours, we don't want to give hitchhikers a bad name! Organize your stuff.<br /><br />
