Default Too much oil

Messed up a bit whilst topping up yesterday and my oil is now just under the H mark

Is my car ok to drive or should I get it drained to the mid level? (not preferable as it's a big hassle!)

I havent driven the car at all since the cock up...

I just posted this exact question in an existing thread over in the tech forum but then realised that you lot may not see it

for me personally, when i do fill 'er up, it's always to the max mark, but aslong as it's somewhere between high and low marks then your fine!
