Some countries such as [[Germany]] are quite easy to hitch around, for example, for the large distances in a single lift, or with the possibility to go really fast (especially where driving speed is not limited). [[England]] is usually good because of the relatively short waiting time. Most other countries are at the average or rather easy hitchability level, e.g. the [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]] and East European countries. Some other countries are considered bad for the long waiting times (like [[Spain]] and [[Italy]]) but even there you might get a ride if you are patient enough. Some people chose to skip a country, though, after standing in one place for over two hours - it is reasonable enough to do so if visually good hitch-hiking spot appears not working in some places.
'''Note:''' In [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Austria]], [[Slovenia]], [[Poland]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Hungary]], [[Switzerland]] and [[Italy]] trucks are not allowed to use motorways on Sundays and on public holidays.

However, these restrictions do not apply to those granted an exception, such as trucks transporting perishable goods and fuel supplies.
