From: Mark on 11 Jan 2008 05:50 Yesterday I was stuck in a Motorway jam for well over an hour and my bladder was getting dangerously full. From the highway code site http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_069862 all they say is you can only stop in an emergency etc, but surely in this case I have become unfit to drive and it is an emergency. The thought of stopping on the hard shoulder EVER is scary enough these days and I certainly agree it should not be used just because someone is uncomfortable, but when its at the point of you either stop of wet your pants and car seat what else can you do? Even pissing into a container would be very dangerous while driving. I've tried it in a carpark and needed my full attention, no to mention BOTH hands. Mark

It is bad enough worrying about missed appointments. Fortunately having a mobile phone helps as at least you can defuse the pressure by phoning ahead to give apologies
