A driver must understand the impact of coasting on vehicle dynamics and safety. Match each coasting scenario with its primary vehicle control consequence according to The Highway Code.
- Selecting neutral when slowing down on the approach to a hazardElimination of engine braking, resulting in total reliance on the footbrake
- Holding the clutch down while descending a continuous steep gradientRapid increase in vehicle speed, significantly increasing the risk of brake fade
- Freewheeling while steering through a sharp corner or bendReduced vehicle stability and less effective steering response
- Coasting when needing to respond promptly to an emerging hazardDelay in selecting and engaging the appropriate gear to accelerate or manoeuvre
Cevap
Matching pairs: Selecting neutral on approach to a hazard matches with elimination of engine braking; holding the clutch down on a steep gradient matches with rapid speed increase and brake fade; freewheeling through a corner matches with reduced stability and steering response; and coasting when responding to emerging hazards matches with delay in engaging the correct gear.
Rule 122 of The Highway Code clearly defines coasting as travelling in neutral or with the clutch pressed down. It reduces driver control because engine braking is eliminated, vehicle speed downhill increases rapidly, steering control and cornering grip are compromised, and selecting the appropriate gear in an emergency is delayed.

Anahtar Kavram
Coasting removes engine braking, reduces steering stability, increases downhill speed, and causes delays in gear selection as outlined in Highway Code Rule 122.
