i usually drive a manual transmission vehicle. with an automatic transmission, i put it in neutral while waiting at red lights.I put it in neutral whenever I'm at a stop or... when I'm under the hood fixing something while the engine is running.
Going down a hill in neutral is NOT too smart though... you're not even saving anything by doing that!
Why is the right lane the slow lane?
I use neutral at the car wash. I don't think they tow cars anymore otherwise I would say for towing.Here we only haul cars on flat beds to be repaired now. Years ago they used to tow them in neutral but decided it wasn't all that safe. Which it isn't.

If your car is an automatic there isn't any reason to put it in neutral while driving. On a stick shift it is good because you can roll start your car with it, (in an emergency). Neutral is for pushing your car, if it won't start.Can I claim gasoline cost to work on my taxes?
The Neutral gear is used only for starting your car or idling. In most states it is illegal to use your neutral gear while driving. That is called "coasting".UHAUL pull behind trailer question?
You shouldn't use neutral when driving. With your engine disengaged from the rest of the drivetrain, you are lacking a major control of your car's speed, relying on the brakes alone. The risks you are taking are either damaging your brakes, or damaging your engine and/or transmission because the car may be going too fast or too slow when you re-engage a drive gear.Your engine does burn slightly less fuel when the transmission is in neutral, but the savings is negligible, are not worth the potential danger you could be putting your car (or yourself) in.

Neutral gear means load of gearbox is not taken by the engine. Therefore the engine easily attains the idle-set speed. All vehicles are designed in such a way that they can be safely parked at any inclination provided they are kept in any gear; except the neutral gear. Therefore if the car is rolled in down hills in neutral gear it can't be stopped only by brakes & when the car is in speed, engaging to another gear is impossible, hence any car should not be moved in downhills on neutral gear; it is not safe as it has no control over it.What are your pet peeves when driving?
Nuetral was meant for sitting for periods of time, where it would be work to hold the brakes or hold the clutch and the brakes.Nuetral helps when having to puch the car if you run out of gas.
Nuetral is used when towing.
Nuetral is BADBADBAD for coasting.
What happens is the gears are spinning in the transmission, but the primary gear is not spinning, so there is no transmission fluid getting sloshed around to help keep the bearings lubricated. Not Good, don't do it!

In simple language, when the car is in neutral gear, the engine is disengaged from the wheels. When you stop at a signal with the engine running, you have to put he car in neutral, because you don't want the wheels to turn at that time.I'm trying to find the driver that hit my brother on thanksgiving, any investaging tips?
Driving a car downhill in neutral may save an insignificant amount of fuel, but it is risky, because there is a danger that the car may accelerate due to its own weight and go out of control. Believe me, even applying brakes in such a situation cannot control the car effectively. Even on level roads, where there is no danger of the car accelerating, you Will find that he braking distance increases significantly when you are driving in neutral. If, normally, your car stops within 30 meters, you will find that when you are driving in neutral at the same speed, it will travel considerably more before stopping.

I would say that it is not worth risking your life - and probably others' as well - just to save on a few drops of petrol. I have been driving now for several decades, but I never drive in neutral gear, even on level roads.
How many traffic tickets have you got so far?
The short answer is that neutral exists to let the motor idle and buffer the next gear shift. You should have the vehicle in gear while in motion for two basic reasons. Safety requires being in control at all times while in motion and neutral prevents that.Neutral exists also to move vehicle when drivetrain power is off. This is where the long answer begins; you must immediately contact the mechanic(s) who service gearing to report your previous habits. Don't let your SHAME kill customers later.
