=== Fluorescent vest ===
To enhance your visibility, and therefore also your chance for a ride, wear a fluorescent vest or jacket. You can buy these in any bigger gas station, especially in those located on motorways. They can be pretty relatively expensive in these places though (they can ask up to 4EUR 4 euro for one), but if you buy one in a regular supermarket, you'll find one them for 1EUR1 euro.
If you don't have a vest or jacket, try to lay hands on any kind of fluorescent of reflective material; reflective strips that bikers use for instance.
Apart that it helps for visibility; it also looks more "professional" and trustworthy. Drivers tend to trust you more, because if you'd be a maniac killer on the loose or an escaped convict or something, you wouldn't wear anything that draws attention, right?
In some countries in Europe, like [[France]], there are laws that force you to wear a fluorescent vest. However in normal circumstances the police won't bother to stop.
