Depending on how long your trip is, that could be risky too: you run a risk of Deep Venal Thrombosis (DVT) if you're sitting for hours-on-end without moving in the car. Sitting that long in one position can be bad for the circulation in your legs.
So even if you don't need a bio break, it's a good idea to get out of the car every couple of hours for a stretch. (But then I'm over 6.5 feet tall so there's even less stretching room in the car for me, than for most!)
