== Irrelevant part of World Record ==
''The last three rides they caught with another competitor that they met along the way.'' does is not relevant for the biggest number of rides in 24h record. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 10:07, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
== Adding records discussion on Hitchwiki' FB page ==
Hitchwiki (Mikael Korpela) posted the link to this record page in the Facebook Hitchwiki page and added the question: any records to add?
This post yielded the following answers, of which we (or actually, who should?) evaluate whether they are worth to be included and of a reliable source.
First, matters that may be relevant.
- Miran Ipavec, for crossing the biggest number of European countries in Europe, 30 (+ Kosovo) within 10 days.
Submitted by Frank Verhart and Prino, see below
--> Frank's opinion: include in the record list

- biggest number of rides in 24hrs, Jake de Vries claimed 11 rides, which was answered by Koen and Stefan 32 rides
--> Frank's opinion: include in the record list, at the same time this record is very, very easy to break.

- biggest number of grouped up hitch-hikers that got a ride. Guillaume claimed 6, Tom Moon claimed 7, but then Jimmy Comamala mentioned that they got a ride from an empty coach when their coach broke down, 52 people.
--> Frank's opinion: we cannot include the 52 people claim before we have a discussing weather a train full of refugees, who do not have to pay for their transportation - humanitarian help - may be considered hitch-hiking. The harsh it is for these people, such transportation meets some of the key hitch-hiking criteria: getting a ride without paying for it and by asking for it from otherwise strangers.

- biggest distance "driving your driver" by Frank Verhart. The longest distance I drove in the car of a driver was 781 km, from service station Gralla on the A9 near Graz to service station Medenbach Ost on the A3 near Frankfurt/M. Total distance that I've driven drivers is 1382 kms during four rides.
--> Frank's opinion: sure it ain't a world record c'mon - at the same time if nobody claims more - then why not. I think that driving the driver is some kind of achievement ;).

Finally, some claims that are clearly not relevant (not all included here)
- Jan Geleijns for biggest hitch-hiking distance within the Netherlands: 175.000 km (very, very rough estimation) in 25 years time, submitted by Frank Verhart..
--> Frank's opinion: irrelevant for the list
- Highest average ride speed in Poland: 177.8 kmh. By Frank Verhart
--> Frank's opinion: irrelevant for the list. However, I've posted this fact in a Polish hitch-hikers FB Group "Autostopowicze czyli MY" which had about 15-20 answers from others who had fast rides in PL. The topic has been removed by the admins though. Many hitchers have had fast rides, but very few accurately register their rides, judging from the answers, so that very few reliable claims for average speed are made. Most of the hitch-hikers probably estimated the average by the occasional look at the average speed. Some mentioned highest driving speeds of up to 270-280 kmh, which nobody surpassed, so that highest speeds listed on our World Record page stand out compared to these experiences in Poland. As for the claimed averages, they went up to 200-220 kmh, often from or to the borders. It's unclear if these were full rides or high speed sections of rides (which means, that the ride average is (a lot?) lower --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 10:07, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
- Anja Velika i know a girl who hitched a ride with another friend, two bikes, two bike trailers and two dogs
--> Frank's opinion: randomness, not a record
