Drivers have been warned of fines for doing a popular fuel-saving trick - and it could even be dangerous,
Coasting - defined as a vehicle travelling in neutral or with the clutch pressed down - is covered under Rule 122 of the Highway Code.
Motorists are advised against this method to save fuel as can reduce driver control. Failure to have proper control of a vehicle can result in a potential fine of £1,000 or even discretionary disqualification. This fine can be raised to £2,500 if driving a larger vehicle such as a bus, coach or HGV.
Engine braking is eliminated when coasting and can lead to the speed increasing quickly when travelling downhill. As a result, drivers may see a reduction in the effectiveness of the footbrake given the increased use.
Steering response will be affected too, with drivers seeing a notable difference, particularly on bends and corners. It may also be more difficult to select the appropriate gear when needed.
John Wilmot, chief executive of LeaseLoco, explained coasting may be affected by new technology in cars.
He explained: “Coasting is no longer beneficial to energy efficiency due to the fuel system in the majority of modern cars.
“When we drive downhill in gear, our engine ECU detects that the accelerator isn’t engaged and cuts fuel from going into the fuel injectors.
“We use no fuel or very little when driving downhill in gear. However, when we drive downhill in neutral, our engine and wheels become disconnected.
“This forces a small amount of fuel to be sent to the engine due to the car not receiving the rotational power it needs from the wheels, instead of drawing that power directly from the wheels.”
Motorists are also being warned about the potential damage it could cause to a vehicle. When

“Hocus Pocus 2.” And among critics, the sequel is faring better than its predecessor originally did — but only just.For the most part, reviews seem to be split between enjoying the nostalgia of “Hocus Pocus 2,” and wanting it to build more upon the original. Where The Hollywood Reporter’s Lovia Gyarkye argues that the sequel “honors its history without knowing quite how to move beyond it,” and IndieWire’s Jude Dry says it “hews closely to the original, perhaps a little too much,” others disagree.The AV Club’s Phil Pirrello wrote that “Using ‘Hocus Pocus’ more like a modular foundation than sacrosanct canon, director Anne Fletcher (Netflix’s “Dumplin’”) and screenwriter Jen D’Angelo find an inventive way of expanding upon the OG movie by reaching into the main characters’ past and softening the trio of witches’ more sinister edges as they once again wreak their unique, PG-brand of havoc on the town of Salem.”IGN’s Amelia Emberwing noted that it’s odd the movie doesn’t film in Salem, but nonetheless, “It’s wonderfully nostalgic that ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ feels like the Disney Channel Original Movies of yore.”Really, critics are just happy to see Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker back together again as the beloved witchy trio.
