Iran
,no edit summary
When hitchhiking in the north of the country, it might occur that people stop just to ask if you need assistance unrelated to transportation. In fact, you don't stand longer than 10 minutes without some car stopping for you. It can be even a police/army vehicle (they are in every corner of Iran): they will pick you up and even stop a car for you and convince a driver to take you further.
"Hitchhiking" in exchange for some money is quite popular in Iran, so always emphasize that you are not going to pay for a ride. An exception to this are trucks, which will usually not ask for money.
