She asked how to get it out of the entrance to the driveway....Answer tow?. How do I get a two truck in front of it to tow it? Answer- Unsure- How easy is it to get it into neutral- Answer Not without the engine running. Electronic shifter(?) means new safety protocol requires engine to be running before you can select neutral- I am glad most of my vehicles have 6 month WOFs...It means they are made of fixibles rather than replaceables.....

Im was told the new Ibooboo trucks have a gearbox destruction button...for just that senario...the boss decided he best get it disconnected as he KNEW someone would just have to try it to see..apparently it breaks something major at flick of a switch..so assumably it must be connected to some serious power source that just sits there waiting like a time bomb!!! dumbest thing Ive ever heard of in a heavy truck.
