    This is a genuine query. If you were driving on a motorway, or dual carriageway, and you sudenly wanted a pee, but at that moment you found yourself at the tail end of an endless queue of stationary traffic with more building up astern of you, and in your car was perhaps your wife/girl friend/mother-in-law/ or the female vicar, WHAT DO YOU DO? There is no embankment on the near-side, no trees or bushes or any place to hide, what do you do when the urge gets intolerable?. It almost happened to me whilst driving down the A34 between Newbury and Winchester. I had just about resigned myself to having a wet car interior, when the traffic began to move. Five minutes later I took the turn off for Winchester and found a lay-by bordered by trees. By the time I had stopped, got out of the car, ran to the trees, unzipped, the tears were in my eyes, at least, I think it was tears!!
    If it ever happened to you, or has happened, tell me about it.
    Cheers lads.
    Colin.

    While travelling on a Bus in India , a 42 hour Journey, from Delhi to Kathmandu in Nepal, after about 5 or 6 hours non stop quite a few passengers were bursting, men and women, mostly Indian and Nepalese, after making the Driver stop on a busy main road out in the sticks , everyone run into the nearest field and peed, the women hiding each other as best they could, there was about 20 men standing with there backs to the road in a line , was so funny, but we were desperate, all the traffic passing.

    What I used to do on the motorway was pull onto the hard shoulder and lift my bonnet and have a pee maybe people thought I was having trouble with my radiator.Times when I pulled onto the hard shoulder my kids would say,have you got trouble with your radiator dad.When I look back how dangerous was this pulling onto the hard shoulder but I must say they were'nt as busy then as they are today.
    Regards.

    I think if I tried it on the motorway, with my luck, I would probably get arrested for Flashing.

    I've always just let it go on the offside rear wheel without exposing myself too much. It was my understanding from when my father did his greengrocers round with the horse and cart that as you couldn't leave the horse unattended by law that was where you went. Not sure the law has ever been amended. No longer a problem for me as I favour a van so just jump in the back with a bucket.

    Well, that's the last time I buy an ice cream from your van, wondered what you washed the scoops in

    once had a bus load of celtic football supportes and I had to stop for them just outside Dunblane.
    There they were all in a row.
    A small boy sitting with his dad was heard to say7 " dad, dad I can see uncles jims willy"
    Good laugh that was.
    It is still legal in uk for a cartter to go to the rear offside wheel to have a jimmy riddle.
