Well, in a typical 'don't pick up hitchhikers' scary story, the hitchhiker might seem normal at first. But as the journey progresses, strange things start to happen. Maybe they start talking in a really creepy way or they seem to know things about the driver that they shouldn't. It could lead to a situation where the driver feels trapped and in mortal danger.
One reason not to pick up hitchhikers is that you never know who they really are. They could be criminals on the run. For example, in many horror stories, a hitchhiker turns out to be a serial killer. Once in the car, they can pull out a weapon and put the driver's life in danger. It's just too risky to stop and pick them up.
