Coasting in neutral while driving refers to the operation method where the driver shifts the gear lever into the neutral position while the vehicle is in motion, disengaging the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, allowing the vehicle to move by inertia. Some car owners, for convenience, shift into neutral when going downhill, relying solely on brakes to control speed, which poses significant safety risks. If this is done on a long downhill slope, the braking system may overheat and suddenly fail, leading to an accident. The correct approach is to engage the appropriate gear based on the actual speed, utilizing engine braking, and occasionally supplementing with brakes. This method is both safer and extends the lifespan of the braking system.

What is the difference between the clutch and the accelerator?

The clutch and the accelerator mainly have the following differences: 1. The clutch is a shifting tool for manual transmission vehicles. Only by pressing the clutch can the gear be engaged. Then, releasing the clutch and pressing the accelerator allows the driver to drive in that gear, with different gears corresponding to different speeds; while the accelerator provides power to the car. 2. Driving requires good coordination between the clutch and the accelerator to make the car run smoothly, steadily, and more safely; when starting, the gear should be placed in neutral. After starting, press the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever into 1st gear, slowly release the clutch, and coordinate with the accelerator pedal to start the vehicle smoothly.
