PSA: If you decide to give a hitch, make sure it’s done in a way that it won’t cause a Chillul Hashem – for example, avoid making sudden stops, use blinkers, make sure it’s in a safe spot and in a spot which won’t cause traffic backups etc.

I’ve seen worse. Also why is chilul Hashem the only concern? What about the safety issue and the time “stealing” issue caused by stopping in places that are unsafe to stop and/or hold up traffic flow. The hitch hikers should also choose where to hitch based on these considerations
Yes, that is a great point about those waiting for rides to wait only in a safe place (and wear reflector at night!)
What about the chillul Hashem of not wearing a seatbelt? If you want to drive, make sure it’s done in a safe way.
yes, the tones, kol haposel… But he has a point also. Mayeb it’s more like ‘umetalmidai yoser mekulam’ – by teaching someone a lesson, he’ll learn one too!
First of all, Hitchhiking in New Jersey is ILLEGAL!, you can be find $200. to $5000. and jailed for 30 to 180 days. and is a very unsafe thing for both the driver and the hiker.
I always wish I’d find 200 or $5000! But I’d rather not be jailed so…
Maybe it was prearranged..
pulled all the way over, out of the way of traffic. Beautifully done, Yasher Koach!
Kshot atzmecha.
Put your seatbelt on.
Nuff said.
