Why is it dangerous to hitchhike?

Answer 1

Because you never know who picks you up. It's dangerous for both the hitchhiker and the person who picks him/her up. Some people pick up hitchhikers to hurt them. They put a knife or a gun at their faces or their heads and tell them:"Give me your money" or "Give me your wallet" or "Give me your purse" and the hitchhiker has no choice but give the driver their money otherwise they get killed. They knock out the hitchhiker and rape them. They stab, shoot or strangle the hitchhiker to death dispose of them in the woods. Sometimes they tie them up and hang them in the woods and the hitchhikers are found dead. Sometimes it's the hitchhiker who kidnaps, robs, knocks out, rapes and murders the driver. Many hitchhikers and murdered by drivers who pick them up and many drivers are murdered by hitchhikers they pick up. It's dangerous for both the hitchhiker and the driver.
