I don't really know for sure if the use of hitchhiking has changed much over the years, the majority of people who still do it now are trying to get somewhere. Yet, there are those people out there regardless of the time period, who use hitchhiking to find victims. Present day, I think that all the scary movies about hitchhiking and murders that have resulted from giving a stranger a ride, makes hitchhiking unpopular and an unreasonable way to get around. Hardly anyone today is willing to let a stranger into their car, because we are aware that it is a safety concern and dangerous.

Scary movies freak me out about hitchhiking too! I would never get into a random car just for a ride and I can't imagine picking up a hitchhiker.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that media has altered the way that we perceive hitch hiking and couldn't see my self giving a ride or trying to find a ride
