M4 Reading. I'm not even past the end of the slip road.. Sorely tempted to reverse up it!

Edit: oh I can't, the hard shoulder doesn't go all the way back.

had that once en route to Ljubljana from Munich. 37C parked up, conveniently exactly one car length away from an exit.

I hope it's legal to use the hard shoulder for 5 meters, cos I was absolutely busting for a slash, intending to stop at the next services.

that was a 'mare of journey. was already in 3rd or 4th 1hr jam at that point.

Mind for emergency vehicles [s]tearing up[/s] making progress along the hard shoulder molly, if you do go for it.

i'm surprised being on the road would stop anyone there, i was stuck on the approach to the san gottardo tunnel, and was surprised to see so many just peeing at the side of the road.
