I was driving home just off a busy junction when a black Volkswagen sped past me at full speed driven by a young man with a male passenger. Not long after speeding ahead of me they suddenly turned into a lay-by.
As I got closer I saw the passenger jump out holding himself and quickly opened the back passenger door to shield himself from passing cars so he could clearly take a much needed piss.
If only in those few seconds I also pulled in to that lay-by and got out my car to watch

Re: Roadside emergency
Over the years I've had some sightings that could have been great ones if I had only reacted a little quicker or had been a little more bold.ebijoe wrote: โ06 Jun 2022, 21:57 I was driving home just off a busy junction when a black Volkswagen sped past me at full speed driven by a young man with a male passenger.

Re: Roadside emergency
Yes, sightings like this are great. Thanks for writing up.
What I like about these situations, especially when it's the passenger who has to pee, is how bad it got before the guy had to say something, whether he had been hoping to hold it till they stopped without having to voice his need at all, and whether the driver was able and willing to stop promptly on hearing his passenger's request.
In the case you describe, I also wonder if the speeding was just how the driver normally drives or was because he knew his passenger was desperate.
