Same opinion here.
Unless it's a small child or someone with a medical condition that really can't wait.

Like others mentioned, it depends on where you are. I used to live in New England and there are still very rural, isolated areas north of Massachusetts. I've driven through Western states like Utah and Nevada, and you can go for many, many miles without seeing human habitation much less a gas station.

I don't have any specific medical problem I know of, but I go a lot. The plumbing is not has young as it used to be. I just have to go a lot.

I've never seen anyone facing the road with their pants down, peeing into the wind while yelling 'Hey, look at me! Look what I can do!' If someone's being discreet, than what are other people doing? Stopping the car, jumping out and demanding an explanation? What happened to mind your own business?

I could see doing this on a highway shut down for hours because of a vehicle accident.

May she rest in peace. I can still hear my mom say " I told you to go before we left the house "!

I was once stuck in a jam on the PA turnpike with my elderly mother who was diabetic, had a weak bladder and colitis. There weren't any trees on this stretch of road. Thankfully, she had to wee just once. Oh, dear, she was so embarrassed even though no one could see her.

I've seen men stop by the side of the highway here and pee. So, let me give you guys a little advice. Don't watch yourself. If you're facing the woods there's no reason to see where you're aiming. It's like a tell tale giveaway that a guy is peeing. He stands there not moving and looking down at his weewee. Just look off into the distance and people won't suspect anything. They'll think you're looking at a deer or something.

I'm probably repeating something but there are areas along the road where there ARE no places. Call it poor planning, drinking coffee when it's raining during a long trip. I've ducked into the woods more times than I care to count. But no one sees me and it keeps me and the car seat dry.

eta: (warning, disturbing content) during the cross country trip when I had the cat and his litter box in the huge moving truck I had to go from NJ to CT and my lead driver wouldn't stop. When we finally pulled off, there was no place to park so I pulled over and used the litter box. The cat was pissed. (no pun intended - or maybe it was)

Blizzard in Alaska? Maybe 100 times/year?

Alaska is not for the feint of heart. A blizzard in the lower 48 is a
bit of fluffy, white stuff to an Alaskan.
