I suggested that we pull off the highway, find a gas station, and ask directions.
If you travel alone, you have to do everything by yourself in the journey, for instance, to buy a ticket, to book hotel, and ask directions.
In 1981 43% of people reported having contacted the police in the past year, usually just to ask directions in the street. By 2006 that had fallen to 27%, of whom most had reported a crime.
