Hah! thats cool. But does a $7 pee container work any better than a empty bottle of coke? Or Mescal?
I usually take a "bathroom break" at the restrooms provided at toll booths or AM/PM. The carpool lane is great for avoiding the vendors and can
cut a little time off "the wait"

Gatorade (wide mouth) bottles work best. Just don't get 'em mixed up with the lemon lime.

The gatorade bottle would work well with this one.

Gotta Go
The one advantage to the Old border crossing in Mexicali is that you drive for a distance parallel to the fence which is covered in bushes and trees.
I used to let my wife drive and walk over into the bushes.
I noticed a lot of Mexicans do the same, but they never came back out.

OK, I'm driving....got my gatorade bottle....but now trying to get my pants down while moving ....AND to find the opening of the bottle before
someone cuts in front of me and a salesman comes by with a marlin fish..........think I would be too pressured to do much at this time.....

That's not a radiator leak!
I was stuck in a long wait at the Calexico crossing a few years back and my eyeballs were starting to float. Grabbed an old bike waterbottle, the
taller version, from behind the seat and let her rip. Man, is it hard to cut off the stream when you're on a roll and the bottle starts filling up!!!
 
The lovely and talented "M" posted a solution on the old Amigo's board some time back. She had drilled a small hole in her floorboards just in front
of the driver seat and carried one of those large funnel and hose devices used to fill a transmission. Voila! Half the cars in line are leaking
antifreeze or overheating and dripping on the ground so no one is the wiser about the bright stream behind your car!!

"LLOYD
I can't hold it. I'm about to explode.
HARRY
Well? just take a whiz in an empty beer bottle. There's a couple on the
floor in the back seat.
LLOYD
Are you serious?
HARRY
Yes, I'm serious. I'm not stopping now. We could get killed.
Lloyd SIGHS. He takes an EMPTY BEER BOTTLE from the back seat and UNZIPS his fly. Suddenly we hear a PEEING SOUND. Then:
LLOYD
Uh-oh?
HARRY
What's the matter?
LLOYD
The bottle's almost full and I'm
still going.
HARRY
Well stop going.
LLOYD
I can't stop once I already started, you know that. Quick, get me another
bottle
Harry can BARELY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL as he reaches way in the back seat for an empty.
LLOYD (CONT.)
Jesus, be careful! You almost went off the road.
HARRY
I'm sorry, Lloyd. I'm doing the best I can.
He hands Lloyd another empty and Lloyd quickly makes the switch.
LLOYD
Here, hold this.
Before Harry knows it he's holding the full BOTTLE OF URINE.
EXT. HIGHWAY - LATE DAY
As the Mutt Cutts van travels down the highway, it passes a STATE TROOPER on a motorcycle hidden in the bushes. The Trooper takes off after them.
INT. MUTT CUTTS VAN
Harry is doing his best to steer while now holding FIVE FULL BOTTLES AND Lloyd is still going at it in the passenger seat.
HARRY
What are you, a gosh darnn camel?
LLOYD
Hey, I haven't gone all day.
Just then they hear a LOUDSPEAKER:
STATE TROOPER
(o.s.)
Pull over!
EXT. HIGHWAY - LATE DAY
The STATE TROOPER is walking up beside the stopped Mutt Cutts van, staring at it with disapproval.
STATE TROOPER
License and registration, please.
Harry hands him the papers.
STATE TROOPER (CONT.)
You fellas were goin' a little fast back there; wouldn't you say?
You uh, you fellas been doing a bit of boozin' have ya? Suckin' back on grandpa's old cough medicine?
HARRY
No, oh no sir. NO, no; uh uh
STATE TROOPER
Yeah; well what's that?
He points to the OPEN, FULL BEER BOTTLES hidden in the seat between them.
HARRY
Oh, that's nothing, sir. Yeah; nothing.
STATE TROOPER
Are you aware it's against the law to have an open alcohol container here
in the state of Pennsylvania? C'mon gmme that booze ya little pumpkin-pie hair-cutted freak cmon...
The Trooper reaches in and picks up one of the bottles. He inspects the beer label, then
MOVES THE BOTTLE TO HIS LIPS.
HARRY
No no no no Sir, Don't; don't dri...
STATE TROOPER
--You keep your mouth shut if you knew what was good for you, buddy!
LLOYD(under breath)
You would, too?
Harry shoots Lloyd a look as the Trooper begins GULPING down the pee. He pauses uncertainly and a SICK LOOK COMES OVER HIS FACE. He takes a DEEP
BREATH. Then:
LLOYD
Tic-tac, Sir?
STATE TROOPER(pained)
Get the hell out of here.
