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. Ride sharing in turn is often presented as a safe alternative, hook up with a driver through a notice board, or organisation that lends some credibility and forethought to the whole deal. And yet, is it all so safe? And is hitching all so dangerous?

The Worst Day of My Life...
How bad can hitch-hiking really get? Well I wasn't murdered, and I wasn't raped, but this day certainly qualified for the worst day of my living memory, exploring the depths of my emotional trauma ... and even then, it wasn't all that bad I guess, I am after all still alive and my body intact.
