Why do some people hitchhike?

Answer 1

Because it's free and they're ignorant. You tell them the dangers of hitchhiking and that a lot of hitchhikers have been killed by drivers but they think it could never happen to them. But sadly, some get kidnapped and robbed and they're lucky enough to escape with their lives. Some hitchhikers get kidnapped and raped and they're lucky enough to escape with their lives. But sadly, a lot of hitchhikers are not so lucky because they get murdered and are found dead in the woods, an iron barrel used as a trash can, in a lake or in a river. We find out they've been hiking home or they ran away from home and they've been hitchhiking somewhere and they've been murdered.
