The best ride to accept from Mottingham is one that brings you directly into the South-East along the M20 and past the M20-M25 junction, most likely to the [[Maidstone Services]]. Many drivers said that many hitch-hikers happen to stand and hitch at the junction, but the police might be more likely to pick you up.
'''Last verified''': I tried the Me and and my girlfriend hitchhiked from Mottingham spot and found it great (July 2013)a lorry picked us up in 15 minutes and took us to the start of M20. Tuesday late morningThere we waited about 20 minutes in a motorway entrance, waited for half an hour before I and got a ride drive by another lorry all the way to the next Folkestone service station (with the McDonalds), from where I got . There a ride to Maidstone Services in under car picked us up after 5 minutes. My sign wrote "M20 (E)", and took us with them on the aim being to get out of the city ferry and avoid all the local trafficway to [[Brugge]] in [[Belgium]].-- [[User:Makuc|Makuc]] 2014-07-31
