*Introduction
**I think it makes no sense to deny that hitchhiking is in all situations savesafe. as earlier people know that and think about it as better they can react in bad situations. so in this paper we should mention this fact. [http://bernd.wechner.info/Hitchhiking/Suite101/?22 link]
**I think there are 3 steps of situations which are dependent on the driver actions and your reactions:
# Before you enter the car, how to know to enter, why not enter, driver might be very kind to you so no reason why not to enter
===Introduction===
Just to remember, I think there is a double of more actions which are not in the news. These are just facts and make me realy really sad:

Some Idea of Introduction:
On earth there are actually more than 6 Mrd. People living. It is not countable how many people still at the moment are active hitchhiking on the earth. Maybe it is 100, maybe it is an amount of about 2000 hitchhikers. How know, how cares, why should I be intrested in it? You should be interested because it is for your safety. It is a fact that a hitchhiking lift could not be all the time that nice as you remember them. There is a small possibility to get in a Situation where you have to handle and to act. In the following paper we have tried to collect tippstips/informations and usefull stuff for Situations like that. We dont want to make you scary. Hitchhiking is in the most Situations the wonderfullst way of traveling. We want to make you strong and give you the power to handle in bad situations. So pleace take the time to read it carefully and in let us know if you have more tipps ore ideas.
===1. Befor you enter the car?===
We dont want to give you here tricks about how hitch hiking is function and how to do. This would be to much. There is a lot of information even written, mostly you can find it in the internet. Here is a list of some usefull useful pages:
* hitchbase.com
* liftershalte.info
We want to give you here reasons why not to enter a car even than when it is raining, you have standed 2 hours on one place and your are pissed of because all the drivers before dont wanted to take you and just a car has stopped in front of you. The First talk with the driver is very important and shows you a lot if the driver wants you to take for some way with the car. You should never just jump into the car without making a little talk with the driver. During the talk you should go trough your checklist in your head like that: Where is the driver going? Which way he will he go trough? Where you can leave the car to get maybe a second lift on a good place? Is the driver drunken? Are there more than 1 person in the car? Where can I put my stuff? Is the driver kindly and helpfullhelpful? Make it realy really sense to go with the driver or maybe its better just to stay? Should I write down the number plate from the car?
At the first time it is good to be at distance to the driver. You are in a better position. You have not to take the first lift. When you feel not good about going with the driver just say NO. Next car will surely come. You can try to say NO in situations where you are sure to get in the next time a lift.
These all sounds realy really easy when you remember these hectic situations where you just jumped in because there have been a lot of cars around and the driver wants to start the car again. You should realy learn to get cool and easy. There is no reason why to stress. The realy best way for cool hitch hiking is to start from a petrol station or to get a lift as fast as possible to such a start point. On a petrol station the drivers are more relaxter and you can get realy really easy an overview...puhh keinen bock mehr.
