I used to always try to help out if I saw a hitchhiker, but two incidents have stopped me. The first was a girl who asked for money. When I refused she said she could "accuse me". I didn't ask "of what?", but could guess. She got out when I suggested we drive to the nearest police station and discuss it. The second was a guy who was so strung out and threatening on something I was nervous about what he might do. Luckily he got out without incident, but it scared me. So, does anyone out there still pick up hitchhikers? I must admit there seems to be fewer of them around.

I would be nice if life were different and we could help people out that way, but no, I never pick up hitch hikers anymore because of similar situations that have happened to me in the past.
Hitchiking
Some still do.
I hitchiked through Europe many many years ago.
My philosophy back then was that only the really cool people would stop to let me hitch a ride and that the assholes would keep going, which was okay to me.
That observation is pretty much still the case with many hitchikers today

I've given two people rides. One was this very drunk woman who was headed to Vancouver when she meant to go to Coquitlam. She had asked for directions and I realized she was too out of it to get home safely if I didn't give her a ride.
The other was this guy that was hiking along Lougheed in the wee hours. When I asked where he was going, he just wanted a ride to somewhere that the buses were still running. I drove him home because he was amusing and it wasn't that far out of the way.

i hitch hiked all through my teen years. however i grew up for the most part in a small northern ontario town. did live in toronto for a time but even then depending on where i was going i could hitch a ride.
i've picked up hitchers and i've passed some by. i mostly pick up cause i remember what it was like being on the side of the road needing to get somewhere. really depends on the split second visual judgement you give the person as you are speeding by.

The only hitchhikers that are probably the safest to pick up are the young people stuck at the junction of the highway between Tofino and Ucluelet.
