What are the hazards of coasting in neutral gear downhill?

[Nettie]

When coasting downhill in neutral gear, the vehicle loses the engine's braking effect. Due to gravity, the car's speed will increase continuously. Without the engine's braking assistance, the braking distance is significantly extended, meaning the effectiveness of the brakes is greatly reduced, putting the vehicle in an out-of-control state. Coasting in neutral refers to the driver shifting the vehicle into neutral gear while driving on the road, using inertia to glide. More hazards of coasting in neutral downhill include: 1. Overheating the transmission, shortening its lifespan. 2. Rapidly increasing the temperature of the brake pads, potentially leading to brake failure. 3. Increased likelihood of the engine stalling while coasting in neutral.
