I believe also in 'hitchhiking karma'. Most of the time you end up getting those rides which - in one way or another - was meant for you at that time, for your driver, or for both of you. In addition, you You can make rides happen but you also should be able to listen very carefully to what the road is trying to tell you.

I used to strongly believe in a hitchhiker with an active attitude; walking up to drivers and talk to them to ask them for a ride. Whether you are waiting at a service station, rest-area or simply at a roundabout or traffic lights where cars stop. One of my favourite approaches is to wave and make them stop and then make the driver understand what I am actually doing: hitching. But  Though these days I also more and more believe in taking it easy, lying down in the grass, reading a book, writing notes, taking a nap, and just waiting for a driver to wake you up, even without putting up your thumb all the time. The right driver ''will'' recognize and stop for you.
