I mean, apart from the whole “shouldn’t have taken the car in the first place” thing, if you are stuck in a traffic jam for 7 hours, surely it’s moving slow enough that you can get out of the car and look for water & a restroom somewhere in walking distance, as long as one person stays to move the car if necessary?
I was trapped on a remote section of highway in Canada that was closed due to extreme and unexpected snow fall. The only bathroom and water nearby was the ditch.
IMO a lack of bathrooms isn’t life-threatening, just inconvenient.
And a lack of water is a lack of planning when you’re in a car.
When I still had a car, it always had a gallon of bottled water, a warm blanket, first aid kit, flashlight and a couple of lighters in it.
It’s insane how quickly a short drive can turn into a life-threatening situation when something goes wrong.

I think that would fall outside of their mental capacity.
