Some random and liberal suggestions:

一个女孩子,荒郊野外拦车,你知不知道“危险”这两个字怎么写?

You're girl, and you're going hitchhiking in such a desolate area all alone? Do you even know what the word "dangerous" means?!

Going hitchhiking all alone in the middle of nowhere...girl, if that's not the definition of dangerous I don't know what is!

文明礼貌,自觉排队

Please queue in an orderly fashion.

If you're going to use it in a translation however, you should use "you're a girl..." or "you're female..."

yeah, Imron. In fact, the first sentence is a movieline, which I find very interesting, so I am curious how would you say that in English and Daan did a great job.:mrgreen:

Oops, there should obviously have been an article there. Should have checked more carefully after modifying my translation. Thanks for pointing that out, imron :)
