It seems to me that the big rigs can be outfitted with a pee tube that could be pulled from under the front seat that leads to a sanitary fill. (or just the road) ---

I’m confused by the Google Ads which are right now selling truck parts (makes sense), and Pulp Fiction wallets. Why, lord, why? On to my actual question: Are truckers throwing these from vehicles or placing them on the side of the road. I’ve worked in sanitation myself and I have experimented heavily with the ballistic behavior of various objects, including sealed containers of liquid. I find it hard to believe that a gallon jug of anything could be ejected from a moving vehicle and remain intact. So someone must be stopping along the highway to place these containers on the curb/median/islands. Dump it out!!! ---

(or just the road) Certainly they could be. Such things have been built in to military airplanes for decades now. But, this would cost money. Depending on how complex the device is, it would range from serious cash (addition of a permanent urine tank) to a couple of bucks, but it would be an additional expense that neither truck manufacturers or truck drivers would want to pay. **Joey P** / **Cynical Gabe** Twenty six gallons of urine on the wall, Twenty six gallons of urine, If one of those bottles should happen to fall, Aaaah! Oh God no! It’s all over my clothes! My hair! It’s in my hair! Oh God! My eyes! My eyes! My mouth! Nooooooo! It’s in my mouth! I taste trucker pee! I don’t want to live anymore. ---

Yeah, but not all truck drivers own their own trucks…so does this mean you’d be using a piss tube that some other trucker had recently been using? Eeeeew. As for venting it directly onto the road, that’s pretty gross. Especially if anyone is following in a convertible. I still don’t understand how laws against this sort of thing are going to help. All anyone has to do is avoid flinging bodily waste while the cops are watching, right? Are people so lazy that not only can’t they stop for a restroom, they also can’t be bothered to look around for law enforcement? ---

Probably the money you’d spend rigging a piss tube could be spent giving the truckers a better schedule. Imagine if someone got hit by one of those things? Damn! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trucker-bombs-do-they-actually-do-this/323980.md?page=1)
