Be sure to face the possible ride. Smile widely. Remove Any Sunglasses or other thing that may cover your eyes. This is REALLY important. The Driver must see your eyes. Seeing your eyes might be the difference between a ride or not. If the driver does stop, move hastely, but not too fast. if they stopped far ahead run to the car, but otherwise stay calm. Keep smiling. Remember to take it nice and slow. Though this might have been your first pick-up all day, the drive might be frightened if you come off too quick or open. Then again openness may be the thing for you. It's your call... use your instincts.

Specify where you're going. Maybe tell where you're from, or your purpose. Sometimes it helps to explain how you got where you are.

Remember to be friendly and be safe. Trust your instincts.
