Speed Hitchhiking

Speed Hitchhiking refers back to a method of hitchhiking in couples wich allows very fast travelling. It works very good with mixed couples and is mostly used while waiting next to the road (see as complement petrol station hitchhiking). The two stand with about 50m distance from each other. The first person holds a sign with the more distant destination, the second person (the female traveller) a sign with a more close destination. If a car stops for the second person, what will happen in 90% of the cases, the person asks if the other person could join, as they have the same direction.

The simple psychological theory behind this ist called priming<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priming_%28psychology%29</ref>, for everybody who would like to go deeper into this.

Cons - strange people stop for the female traveller
