Also, it must be said that hitchhiking at night is slightly less safe than during the day. The obvious reason is that you are less visable which effect roadsafety. But also that whenever something happens it is less likely to be seen by people arround you, so you are less likely to receive help. In adition, the percentage of drunk drivers or extremely tired (dangerous) drivers is higher during the night. And finally, from personal experience, you are more likely to be tired yourself which will affect your awereness.
