While I don't think that someone who is taking a leak should be considered a sex offender, it's something that should be limited to the privacy of a bathroom. There's really no need for that nonsense on the side of a road.
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?
Unless, of course, you were in our situation. We got stuck on NYE on I-40 heading East toward Flagstaff. A freak blizzard hit, and over 1000 cars were stranded, many overnight. Kind of limits your options..
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.
There are numerous places to stop along the way without showing yourself in public.
Go to a rest area, truck stop, restaurant, gasoline station or anywhere but on the side of the road.
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)
You should not urinate out of doors. Unless you have a huge chunk of land and are out of sight.Crude and alright if a kid but likely as not it is time to mature.
Just for fun you should take a cross-country trip in India.
