::: I think waiting time is more important than length of lifts - at least that is my personal perception. I am more happy about short waiting times than about long lifts in general. I also find France a rather hard country to hitchhike. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 16:30, 22 September 2010 (CEST)
:::: This makes me think the languages spoken by the hitchhiker should also be taken into account... At least for locations where this matters, such as [[gas stations]]. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 18:59, 22 September 2010 (CEST)
::::Re: Standard deviation: That's available in the "Totals per country" pages of the output of my stats programs, but far too big to post here, unless I cut out some selected countries. Germany is below, feel free to ask for others.

::::Re: France: The only time I zipped through F was in June 2008, in the company of an attractive young lady who had never hitchhiked before, we did Porto-Luxembourg in 53:08
::::Re: Being alone or not: It might make a difference. I've had 2386 rides, my guess is that I was hitching alone for somewhere around 99% of them, so I do not think they have a great influence on the overal stats.
::::Re: Language: That helps, and it probably does have a measurable effect, but I speak Austrian (aka German) and my waiting times in A are well above average, whereas I don't speak Lithuanian, but my waiting times in LT are well below the average!
