Thats all you need to do. Never got stuck in 16 years. Once watched my truck slide down a short hill with me not in it which was a strange surreal moment but never got stuck.

seems a little odd that mate, my Carole and me went to Wembley/Neasden also last Saturday, we left Neasden at 3pm got to J14 at about 5.30ishpm, although it did take nearly 3 hours to get to the services at Pagnell, and we stopped twice. finally got home in Northampton at 10.30
