I wouldn’t hitchhike it is a dangerous thing to do, you never know what kind of crazy is behind the wheel. On the other hand, I do give rides to people (and kids) who need it. My father a”h used to pick up people and drive them all the time. Especially at 49th street, people who were going to be m’vaker cholim at Maimonides. He would say the car knows the way and goes by itself, I am only sitting in the driver’s seat. He didn’t want anyone to feel they were be matriach him. He wasn’t going to the hospital he just wanted the mitzvah of helping them.
