Preventing Accidents: The Importance of Peeing Before Driving

A TikTok creator who is a physician's assistant has warned drivers to pee before getting behind the wheel to increase their chances of survival in a car accident. He explained that a full bladder during a crash can lead to a dangerous intraperitoneal abdominal wall rupture, while an empty bladder is less likely to burst. The American Urological Association advises wearing a seat belt properly to prevent bladder trauma in car crashes. Additionally, a study found that the urge to urinate while driving can be as distracting and dangerous as driving drunk.
