How often do you drive 500 miles without a comfort break of some sort?

Always and the only comfort break is a **** and I prefer to not use
public dunnys,
just **** by the side of the road on the highways etc.

Depends wehat you mean by comfort break. Asssuming motorways 500 miles
atÂ* 70mph is 7 hours solid.

I have done that non stop except for fuel and a **** on several
occasions, so if the tank had been larger I would have BUT that is the
limit.

Last year I had to drive to Koblenz which I did non stop once off the
ferry except that since the whole shebang was about 10 hours staring in
the small hours, I ran out of sleep and had to have 40 winks on the
autobahn lay by

I have done journeys of far longer, into Europe, rotating drivers to
ensure rest.
