When the belt breaks, engine will stop.
Putting engine damage topic on the side, it will be hazard for everyone on the road.
You will lose power steering, vacuum assisted braking, engine power, etc.
You might get stuck in the middle of the highway...potentially getting rear ended.

If the timing belt is neglected, other things are probably neglected.

This is a 4-5hrs highway drive. Not just some local 30mins drive.
What is your life worth?

I guess I nailed it on this topic. I don't see any further responses.
Good luck to the OP. Hopefully he/she did the right thing.

I don't think it's because you "nailed" it.
It's because we've all stated our opinions, they aren't going to change, and that's what the op wanted.
There's no need for us to reply back and forth with roughly the same information, hijacking the thread while we are at it.
