Changes

First and foremost, it is highly recommended to have a minimum level of autonomy and mobility before attempting to hitchhike, especially if you're not travelling with a partner. Assuming that you're travelling in a manual wheelchair and have average arm mobility (the most common setup for those who got into the whole disability business after the usual road crash), it is a really good idea to be comfortable with some basic skills like folding away your wheelchair, transferring from the wheelchair to a car seat (or even ''truck'' seat, but we'll cover that later), and using regular WC's instead of handicapped ones. Appearing confident or even energical will help a lot to mitigate the natural uneasiness that many drivers face when they take a disabled hitchhiker in a wheelchair into their car - which is good, unless you're planning to make an extensive visit throughout the country's police stations courtesy of all your good-willing but non-english-speaking anxious drivers.
