View source for Good times to hitchhike

'''Sunday''' morning until noon seems the worst time to hitchhike in [[Europe]], and many other parts of the "developed" world influenced by Christianity (the [[US]], [[Oz]], [[Kiwiland]] and [[Canadialand]] come to mind).  Cars are full of families, with a grumpy wife on the side and not too many working people on the road.  It usually gets better in the afternoon, when people are driving back from their weekend trip alone.

In [[Israel]] people work on Sundays so you'll be fine, but Shabbath is a horrible day for hitchhiking there since religious people are not driving at all (and they're usually quite skilled at [[picking up hitchhikers]]).

In a lot of [[Europe|european]] countries, most of the trucks are not allowed on the highways on Sundays until 10:00 pm. They too are a hitchhiker-fond crowd. Sometimes. However, they all leaving their places at exactly 10:00 pm. So, if you stuck late on a big service area, you can see them as a ''get-home-insurance''. It's surely not a problem to find a truck to any destination if you start asking around at around 9:30 pm.
