In Australia, like in the United States there's a general feeling that hitching is a thing of the past, just not viable any more.

Here's the story.

The Dangers of Hitching: Passive, Active and Ride Sharing
Hitch-hiking is generally held to be a rather dangerous activitiy. Some people are so afraid of the idea they'll go to any lengths to paint a hitch-hiker as a suicidal freak, particularly if that hitch-hikker happens to be a woman.

And yet, is it all so safe? And is hitching all so dangerous?
