Hi Prino, first of all respect for your endurance on keeping logs! I was thinking about adding general average speeds for hitchhiking in Germany. Thus I wonder if your average speed of 114 km/h in Germany is just time in the cars, time on the road including waiting or door-to-door time. If it's the first one, do you have statistics about the latter two? Best regards --[[User:Kriechstrom|Kriechstrom]] 15:57, 1 February 2012 (CET)
:It's pure driving speed, excluding all stops (toilets, meals, etc) and even traffic jams (when the traffic comes to a complete standstill for more than 5 minutes). If you want more details, please check out the input file for my programs on Yahoo! (link on my page). I have no plans to add statistics for time-on-the-road or door-to-door. Anyway, time-on-the-road is sort-of available in the "lift.h-h" output file. My ballpark distance-per-day figure for hitching in Germany is somewhere around 800 km.

:: Sitting in a hostel in Hong Kong with only a small netbook I am not motivated to play with your statistics program at the moment, but I still feel like messing around with numbers :)
:: I know that statistic-wise, this is complete bullshit, but if I combine your numbers with [[User:Fverhart|Franks]], who has exactly the numbers that are missing in your log, I estimate that you had probably around 679 lifts in Germany and spent 353.08 hours in waiting in Germany :)
:: This comes to an average speed (driving + waiting) of 84.1 km/h -[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 16:59, 1 February 2012 (CET)
