Aye, I found this out the hard way crawling down a hill in High Wycombe in my Defender. All was well until I went from 2nd to 1st, next thing I'm sliding down the hill, slowly heading towards a lamppost. Managed to get it against the kerb and used that against the sidewall of the tyre to stop me.

Lucky I did, as two stupid kids were laying in the road making shapes by waving their arms around - I open the window and shouted "Get your fucking kids out the way - they're about to get run over" to a person I presumed was their father. He replied "They're not mine - go ahead"
