[pct-l] Going alone

[Tortoise]

I agree. If I stop to pickup someone and others come running out of hiding towards me, I'll probably take off fast and not wait to ask questions. Such a tactic smells ambush!

My other suggestions for getting a ride:
     Stand where you are easily seen. Better in the sun than shade.
     Stand where the driver has a good safe spot to pull over and load you!
     Stand up instead of sitting when traffic comes.
     One or two in a spot rather than more. I can take one comfortably. The second and maybe third get the cramped rear seats.

My two bits.
