Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice,normal people. On one occasion I found myself was with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police,and were hoping to use me as an alibi(不在犯罪现场的证人).There are also lesser(较小的)risks:you may find yourself in the car of a Fascist fanatic,a Mormon missionary(传教士),or just a bad driver. You cannot tell,of course until you are in the car. But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.
If the hitchhiker in the U.S. remembers that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride,and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company,and not go to sleep,he will come across the remarkable,almost legendary,hospitality of American of the West. It will also help if he can drive—I drove myself about 4,500 of those 9,500 miles I hitchhiked in the States.
1.A hitchhiking serviceman should wear his uniform ________.
