Why is coasting in neutral prohibited?

[SanReese]

Coasting in neutral is prohibited because: Here's a brief explanation of the dangers of coasting downhill in neutral. 1. Coasting in neutral can easily cause engine stalling. When driving at high speeds, engine stalling is extremely dangerous, especially when going downhill. Due to gravity, the vehicle's speed will continue to increase. When the engine stalls, the vehicle's steering system will fail, and the braking system will become ineffective. 2. When coasting downhill in neutral, the vehicle's speed accumulates, but you still need to control it. This means you have to constantly apply the brakes, which not only wears out the brake pads but also causes the brakes to overheat and potentially fail. In severe cases, this can lead to the cracking or bursting of the brake disc (or brake drum). 3. If you frequently coast in neutral, the driven wheels will drive the axle, which in turn drives the transmission. However, the transmission's lubrication relies on the gears (splash lubrication). When coasting, the transmission gears are not rotating, but the secondary shaft is. This can cause the secondary shaft to seize or result in severe wear between the secondary shaft and the gear engagement components.
