As I don't have a car at the moment my response isn't strictly true, but I have voted Yes, Still do.

In fact I would evaluate each situation on its own merits. I've picked up hitchikers before and would again if the situation was right. I probably wouldn't after dark, just because the world feels more dangerous then, even if it isn't in fact. And sadly, I'd probably go past a hitchiker when they most need a lift - in the dark, in the rain and on a busy road - just because I wouldn't notice them in time to react safely and pull over.
