Normally I don't pick up hitch hikers. Actually, I've never picked up a hitchhiker. If I see a car with it's hazards on, and someone outside the car trying to wave down traffic then unless I'm stuck in high-speed traffic and slowing down would likely cause an accident I will stop (unless I'm on my way to work/school and appointment). I'll offer any help (used to have a set of tools in my car, plus a gas container), I'll take them to a gas station, let them use my cell phone (if service is available), or anything I can possibly do to help.
I've been stuck on the side of the road with no sign of help in sight too many times to not offer people in similar situations help if I can.
