Question: Coasting downhill in neutral is:
Answer options:
- Recommended to save fuel ✅ Illegal in most provinces and dangerous
- Faster than using gears
- Required on steep hills
Correct answer: Illegal in most provinces and dangerous
Explanation: Coasting downhill in neutral is illegal under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act and highly dangerous because it deprives the driver of engine braking, which can cause the brakes to overheat and fail while significantly reducing steering control. While some drivers mistakenly believe this practice saves fuel, the loss of vehicle control far outweighs any minor efficiency gains, and it is never recommended or required. Ontario law mandates that drivers maintain constant control of their vehicle by keeping it in gear. For the G1 knowledge exam, understanding safe vehicle control and prohibited driving habits is essential, as questions on illegal maneuvers are common.
