===2. Leaving a car?===
The situation is there that you feel not comfortable anymore with the driver. The feeling says you better to leave the car. For leaving a car there could be different reasons like, the driver is drunken, the driver is not driving this direction he wanted to go, the driver is driving really fast and scary, the driver wants more than just give you a lifttouches all the time your legs, the driver did ask for sex... In any way the reason why you have a strange feeling is not that important. Important is that you hear at that feeling and try to get out of the car. You should handle cool and overstanding, don't let the driver see that you are unsure. Simply say the driver to stop the car. A good stop for the car is a place like a petrol station, bus station something where you are not alone when you leave the car. You should train and try to leave a car on normal hitchhiking lifts. For the most people it is not that easy to lie in that way because before you did say some other aim where you want to go. You should not care about lying. When it seems to be that the driver don't want to stop at that place you have said it is time for you to handle in any way.
First of all try to make you visible for other people. Write a SMS or make a directly Phone Call to a friend and tell him the important fact about the driver, where you are and in which car you are sitting. When you have no mobile phone and it makes no sense to make a call because you are traveling in foreign countries try to get notice by other car driver. You can hold a paper with the word "HELP" out of the window or just open the window and try to get in conntact with other car drivers. The most important fact for you ist that the car driver have to concentrate on the street. The driver will not be able to punish you and secondly drive the car with 200 km/h at a highway. You should make the driver nervous and do strange things like laughing, screaming or destroying the drivers car. You can try to get in back of the car because you are now not that good reachable for the driver, but be carefull because some cars have these kids looks. You can burn a paper in the car and make a fire inside. You should try to open the door (but with seatbelt). With your feeds you have a big power so why not break the door or the window. You can also try to get the key from the car because in the most cars the car will stop and not be moveable with the steering wheel any more. In any way the driver stops maybe because of a traffic light or because he is confused you should try to leave the car and run away. Don't car about your big stuff (it is good to have the important things like id-card, money and so on all the time with you). When you run away you should try to find your way to other people. When you have the time write down the letters from the serial number plate.
