How many meters is the maximum allowed for coasting in neutral during the driving test (Subject 3)?
1 Answers
Coasting in neutral is defined as driving without shifting gears and with the clutch fully depressed for over 100 meters. Note that there are two situations where coasting in neutral is likely to occur: 1. During turns: Partially depressing the clutch while driving at low speeds through a turn can easily lead to coasting in neutral. When parallel parking, always remember to press the brake first, slow down, then fully depress the clutch and gently press the brake to stop. 2. At low speeds: Sometimes, partially depressing the clutch to control speed at low speeds does not count as coasting in neutral, but the clutch must only be partially depressed—this is what the theoretical test refers to as 'half-braking.' Otherwise, it will also be considered coasting in neutral.
