Yes, except on motorways.

Yep, it is legal.

Answer 8

As long as l. Gallagher is driving your good mate!

Yes but it's very stupid anything could happen to you. It does sound like a car delivery company, you see them trying to hitch at the end of the M5 and they always seem to have number plates under their arms.

Car delivery drivers have always hitchhiked, so they save the fare that the company give them for public transport
