I don't pick up hitchhikers, but I would in certain situations, just to pass on what has been given to me. My friends and I were stranded in a pass last New Year's Eve and were fortunate enough to be picked up by some college students heading where we were headed. I think I would probably pick someone up in the same situation--if I had other people with me and they were around my age and non-creepy.

But I think it really depends on the situation.

If anyone is familiar with Washington State: after several years of NOT having signs, they FINALLY got around to putting up signs around Green Hill School on I-5 (the school for bad bad boys in Chehalis) saying "DO NOT PICK UP HITCHHIKERS." I wonder who DIDN'T notice the school surrounded by razor wire...
