Hitch-Hicking a Nuisance
The practice of thumbing rides
along the highways, more commonly
known as hitch-hickers, has grown
out of all bounds in the last year or
two. When it first came into prac
tice the average motorist considered
it an act of common courtesy to
give the pedestrian a lift, especially
since the latter was probably one of
the unfortunate victims of depres
sion. Today the highways are lined
with youths and adults of both sex
es, many of them well able to pay
for their transportation by bus or
railway, who prefer to prey upon
motorists and who become very im
portunate in their demands for a
ride.
The consequence is that few mo
torist are troubling to stop and pick
up the wayfarers. There have been
many cases where the driver has
been slugged and robbed by his un
appreciative guest traveller, all of
which makes other drivers skeptical.
Perhaps it is not well known, but
the Highway Traffic Act provides
that “No person shall on a travelled
portion of the highway solicit a
ride on other than a public vehicle.”
The penalty for such an offence ds
a fine of $10. In our opinion it is
time that the Department of High
ways took action to enforce this law.
It would save motorists a great deal
of trouble and undoubtedly result
in preventing a large number of ac
cidents which occur as the result of
sudden stopping of cars to pick up
hitch-hickers.
