Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Dear editor( ), Can't your newspaper do something about the custom of hitchhiking?

Don't they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing! Many of these young hitchhikers may come from good families. Don't their parents teach them anything about the world? I always taught my children not to talk to strangers.
