Open both nearside doors and sit on the front cill. With a rug, coat, newspaper etc total propriety is assured.

Might sound daft, but I cannot understand why nobody has done a set of POIs for satnavs for this very purpose, especially as there are fewer public facilities year on year and they get harder to track down.
|
Follow the french example, find the most exposed (pun?) location and just spray it about a bit!
Nobody gets upset in France so what is the problem here?

Do you really need a Sat Nav to tell you where is nearest hedge? :)
During motorway traffic jams, I've seen people committing nuisance over hard shoulder!
Actually for men it isn't a very big problem. But for women it's more acute problem.
I wonder what people do in countries like USA/Canada with astronomical intercity distances.
They must use roadside. Shouldn't be a big problem with sparse locality.
In Scotland/Wales, finding a secluded hedge isn't that difficult. But in SE England, it is so highly populated, that you might find yourself easily embarrassed by passing pedestrians out for dog walk!

I have always had to plan long journeys carefully....and will never get on a coach unless it had a toilet on it....saying "go before you leave home" doesn't show any understanding of the problem, believe me.
the worst i've done is pull onto the police only observation ramp on the M4, when stuck in a really bad jam and aim away from everyone else.
the only plus side to it was my passenger was a most stuck up elder sister of my then girlfriend and the horrified look on her face when i came back was worth all the tea in China

Hedges etc might be fine for you but Mrs D would give you jolly short shrift if you suggested that, I can tell you.

Now this where I need the assistance of a bored lawyer ! But.......there was a rumour many years ago among high mileage drivers that there is such a thing as an old, possibly medieval, unrepealed law called "carters' law" . The gist of it being that as a bona fide traveller (or carter ) that you can legally wee or whatever on your own wheel if necessary on the basis that the wheel will then destroy the.... er....evidence.
Not sure if this has any basis in truth but there you ......go I suppose !

I have HAD to pull into a lay-by on numerous occasions and then open the nearside rear & front doors, which gives you good screening from any voyeurs...
You should be so lucky!
My own method for motorways, before I regularly had passengers (any other situation shouldn't cause any able bodied man the slightest, er, inconvenience..) was to carry (or retain) the inevitable coke or tango can - so I could replace what I drank. It could then be stored in/on any cubby hole/cupholder until arrived & parked.
The obvious caveats applied - wait for easy trafiic conditions, set cruise control, carefully(!)l abutt the nasty ring-top hole to appendage & relax! Wouldn't dream of doing it nowadays, too safety conscious.

So that's what the green P sign that I've seen on the back of cars means!

coke or tango can -
Dangerous business trying to pee into a coke can. Sharp edges, y'know?
*Winces*

How can I put this politely? I can only assume that those who would consider the option of a drinks can must be of English origin. As a Scot I can assure you that we would have major aperture / access issues ! ;-)

Thats alright, a bit of tissue round the aperture should alleviate any of your problems (it would make the hole a smaller size for you)
;o)

ive had to do it in a can whilst stuck on the aston express way in brum because of all the extra footy fans clogging the roads up , villa, city and wolves all playing at home

villa city and wolves all playing at home
And thousands of fans relieving themselves against garden walls and brand-new cheapo alloy wheels and brake discs through acres of surrounding streets near each ground, tee hee, eating through all that putty-like metal like Alien's saliva...
