Would you stop for a Hitch hiker

Would you stop for a Hitch Hiker, obviously Women could be putting themselves at risk but I still see loads of People thumbing a lift and wondered how many of you would stop.

I picked one up last Week at the Services, he was one of the Driver Types carrying Trade plates and it was peeing down so I gave him a lift

Having hitched all over the UK in my younger days I always try to stop. I've met loads of great and interesting people over the years.

I would'nt but I do hope as I drive past that some kind hearted soul will

If I ever did,it would be like you did, a guy with the plates,do they get paid well for what they do? they should!

why ever not? when i was a penniless student, i was grateful for every lift i got .. so whenever i see anyone hitchhiking, i always stop. but only for a lone person. groups are a definite no-no these days

Ah that's horrible, I take back my joke.

I actually don't see hitchers anymore and haven't for years. In my childhood you used to see a hitcher on every motorway intersection.

I will on occasion pick one up but i am careful to pick one up who isn't too pungent. I did pick up one hippy type who was wet and hummed a bit last Oct and ended up buying a new air freshener in Cardiff for the trip back. I do ask for some id though even if they have trade plates in hand.

Me to, and Europe to in the early 80's. Loved it like you say whether you're the hiker or the driver you meet loads of interesting people.

If I was on my own, I wouldn't pick a single woman up.

I have always picked up hitchhikers, but wouldn't pick up a fem as I heard a right horror story for an old aquaintance once, he picked up a single female and when she was in the car said to him, you will take me anywhere I want to go or I will tell the police you molested me.

trade plate drivers get a money for train trips home, but some choose to save it and hitch hike instead.

but they dont get payed very much for the job so it makes sence.

i have in the past and would give them a lift

After seeing some really freaky hitchhiker movies I wouldn't these days. Also they tend to hijack cars that way because its almost impossible to steal one without the keys now.

I often pick up hitch hikers

Here its kind of easier to - many people hitch hike. Once when I was a new driver I was driving along an empty straight road when an old lady jumped in front of the car to stop it for a lift. I drove her about 7 miles into town and she never shut up - only I didnt understand a word she said as she spoke so fast

But yeah, if its safe for me to stop and its pissing down - I'll give a lift
