"You are nearly three times more likely to be killed in a regular garden variety car accident that you are to be murdered when hitchhiking"
But when you Hitchhike you are in a CAR. So your even more likely to die in a car accident.
Anybody missing this?
LOL! Nice point. I have yet to be in a car accident when hitchhiking though. And that's with almost 20 years experience. We got a flat once, but I said, "That sucks," and walked away. Kinda felt like a jerk afterwards. :)
Plus: Hitchhiking only increases the dangers associated with driving a tiny amount and that tiny amount of increased risk is probably worth it when you consider all of the adventures you could be having!
