Слайд 3Before travelling
Buy a map of the area you are going

to travel
Some hitchhikers recommend taking a foldable bike as back-up

transportation

Make sure to carry enough food and drink if you're going for a long trip

Remember, hitchhiking may be illegal in some areas or on certain types of roads

Learn the language, at least a little

Be prepared to walk all day

Слайд 4Location
Getting a ride at night is very difficult.
Avoid places

where traffic cannot stop legally.
Roadside picnic areas are good.
Gas stations

where many cars stop are good.

Land borders where traffic has to stop are great..

Highway rest areas are ill-advised, particularly in the USA, due to the number of "disturbing incidents" at these locales. An exception to the "rest area" rule is the commercial rest area on toll roads.

Don't try to catch a ride from downtown, instead catch public transport to the edge of town.

Слайд 5Alternatives
As an alternative to waiting by the roadside, many websites

allow users to try to pre-organize hitch hiking trips. Sites

in different countries use different systems, but it is best to find a site which concentrates on long-distance and one-off trips rather than regular commutes.

Слайд 6Stay safe
If you arrange a ride through a ride-matching website,

you can request the ID number of the driver who

offers the ride; give this number to someone at home. Ask for this ID when you meet the driver; most will understand this precaution.

Wear at least some of your valuables (i.e. passport, wallet, money, etc.) under or in your clothes, rather than in your pack. Keep them in different places.

Keep your bag or backpack in easy reach.

Sit in the front passenger seat, if you can.

Choose a car with a single occupant or a couple rather than the last seat in a car full of people.

Take care who you get a ride with. Some criminals prey on hitchhikers

Note the vehicle registration, and its make, model, and color before you take a ride. Text this information to a friend.
