Everyone who hitchhikers has his own rules. to ride. Mostly they repeat what is written in the books. on this topic, but some moments for each person are individual, or more like. I also found such for myself regulations. True, they sometimes resemble “dances with tambourines” –
And if you still doubt this method of movement, then I recommend reading my post Hitchhiking – scattering myths.
Some hitchhiking moments
First of all, I hitchhike when I have a lot of time, and I’m not in a hurry, otherwise hitchhiking out pleasure turns into a race. And each even a small 20 minute simple seems like an eternity. Also, hitchhiking is desirable regarded as an adventure, not just a way to move.
Three of us go to the sea hitchhiking
The key to a good hitchhiking is a good mood. Well, who wants to carry a gloomy sad creation, so it is useless and even harmful to be angry at cars passing by. They are simply not yours. It is best to stop in a state of a certain rage, cheerful enthusiasm. Sometimes, this way you can cheer yourself up.
It is necessary to understand that no one is obliged to bring you up, therefore Thank the person for an interesting conversation, an apple, or at least mentally. Raise a person’s mood! And next time he will again will want to take a companion. Give hitchhiking to the masses!
Rules how to stop
First, choose a place, it is very desirable is where the driver it will be convenient to stay. For example, if there is no curb, and stop It causes braking of all who are behind, this is a bad place. Those who drive can easily understand what the place is. Also, you need to be seen from afar, or they may just slip through, seeing only shadow side vision. Good place after 100-200 meters after lifting, with a wide curb, just the driver dropped speed and saw you. I accepted the rule for myself, if not stopped more than 20 minutes, then I change the place, because either I chose poorly or It is enchanted by evil anti hitchhiking fairies.
Often I use mental images and visualization. I’m trying imagine that the car pulls up and stops, and in it cool uncle. You can still represent arrival at the end point ways to speed up the process. Scientifically, these methods are not provable, but they work for those who believe in them. And I believe. Other ways I do not know … By the way, hitchhiking guru materialize cars up to color or brand, he himself traveled once with such a person. Entertainment this is just not interesting to go, give us the Universe green car with kondishenom.
The important point is when I stop, I try to look at the driver, well or if it is not visible, then where it is supposed to be be. I establish mental contact! Know if you are long stand, and nobody pays attention to you, it means for sure doing something wrong. They usually wave back with their hands, heads, show all sorts of strange signs, for example, I soon turn off, or others, the value of which can only be guessed.
I also noticed a feature (maybe only mine) that before how to stop a car, you have to satisfy your needs. And not funny damn. While I wanted to use the toilet I could not stop anyone. AND, I remember once, the thought of an apple in a backpack did not give rest until it ate, fig.
Good hitchhiking!
