How to

Structure

  • Introduction
    • I think it makes no sense to deny that hitchhiking is in all situations save. as earlier people know that and think about it as better they can react in bad situations. so in this paper we should mention this fact. link
    • I think there are 3 steps of situations which are dependent on the driver actions and your reactions:
  1. Before you enter the car, how to know to enter, why not enter, driver might be very kind to you so no reason why not to enter
  2. Leave a driving car because you get a bad feeling and have recognized that the driver wants more that just give you a lift. link
  3. I think the 3rd step is the most worst case, what can I do when really somebody wants to kill me/ to rape me/ to steal my money! I am sure that in the most cases you will not recognize this situations so fast, because the driver was all the time very kind and funny to you. He builds up a friendly relationship to you. So I even believe that to get raped must not be in a car (you know the stories about raped family members).
    • Seems to be prostitute, get out information from [1]

Introduction

Just to remember, I think there is a double of more actions which are not in the news. These are just facts and make me realy sad:

Some Idea of Introduction:

On earth there are actually more than 6 Mrd. People living. It is not countable how many people still at the moment are active hitchhiking on the earth. Maybe it is 100, maybe it is an amount of about 2000 hitchhikers. How know, how cares, why should I be intrested in it? You should be interested because it is for your safety. It is a fact that a hitchhiking lift could not be all the time that nice as you remember them. There is a small possibility to get in a Situation where you have to handle and to act. In the following paper we have tried to collect tipps/informations and usefull stuff for Situations like that. We dont want to make you scary. Hitchhiking is in the most Situations the wonderfullst way of traveling. We want to make you strong and give you the power to handle in bad situations. So pleace take the time to read it carefully and in let us know if you have more tipps ore ideas.


3. What to do in the worst case?

  • push in the front window with your feet (in a standing car) (it works on top in the middle. and no car driver wants this to happen)
  • lighter and deo-spray...
  • throwing things out of the car
  • grab the steering wheel
  • pull the handbrake
  • have with you a "Help"-sign and hold it to the window
  • let out a guffaw, use the element of surprise
  • pretend having an epileptic fit
  • open the door during the ride and try to brake the door with your feeds (only belted up)
  • turn on the hazard lights /the flashing light/ honk
  • be careful by jumping out of a truck. Be aware of the altitude.
