Never thought to find out. If I have to go I pull over. I’m usually not racing anyone when on a road trip.

I absolutely hate sitting still for long periods, and love the health benefits of staying fairly active and keeping good circulation. I stop about every two hours because of this. Does not to be a contest of how long you can hold it.

4-6 hours unless I have a glass of tea. It goes right through me.

I don’t pay attention. If I need to stop, I stop. Never understood the ‘making record time’ concept while making yourself miserable.

If you don’t need to take a piss every 4 hours or so you aren’t drinking enough water.

I don’t drive more than 2-3 hrs max. So 3hrs, if it’s longer I fly.

If were a robot, this post would be about Fisher Investments, not the human experience of bladder road capacity.

Sentence structure and posting style says different.

Damn, so you'd fly from Baton Rouge to Houston? I put that number at more like 10 hrs, especially if it's multiple people.

My in laws lived in Birmingham when they were alive. I'd take my family of 4 there maybe twice per year most years.

I can't imagine flying 4 people for that trip, renting a car etc vs just leaving at 8am and getting there around 2, for a total cost of maybe $100. Hell, we couldn't even get a direct flight if we wanted to. Driving is probably faster

I sat on a tarmac (or other travel delays) for longer periods of time than it took to drive to the same flight destination…many times.

My drive vs fly breakeven point is 6 hrs.
