Every time I go home I see more and more hitch hikers.
What is the deal with so many "Thumbers"?
So I'll just throw this out for discussion.
I thought it was illegal. Yet I see people doing it all the time.
According to Hawaii law, a hitchhiker (or pedestrian) must be completely off highway property. Read the exact wording of the law below...
Pedestrians soliciting rides, business or attention of motorist.
(a) Except as otherwise provided by county ordinance, no person shall stand in, walk along, or otherwise occupy a portion of a highway for the purpose of soliciting a ride, employment, business, or contributions from the occupant of any vehicle.
