Is there any harm in taxiing in neutral?
The harm of neutral driving refers to the driver's vehicle shifting to neutral and coasting by inertia when driving on the road. When the vehicle speed decreases, shift into high gear and slowly refuel to increase the vehicle speed. Repeat this operation to save fuel. In fact, neutral sliding can not achieve the effect of fuel saving, but will wear clutch, gear and other parts. The most important thing is that it is also dangerous to slide in neutral. When a car is driving at a high speed, in case of emergency, it must quickly release the accelerator, step on the brake pedal and implement emergency braking. At this time, if the car is in normal operation, all the transmission systems from the wheels are closely combined with the engine, and the engine speed slows down, it will produce braking force for the car that runs by inertia, which is also commonly known as "engine braking". On the one hand, it can prevent the brake drum from being locked by the instantaneous braking pressure and reduce the braking effect; On the other hand, it can balance the braking effect of the left and right wheels and make the vehicle stop slowly and steadily. On the contrary, if you have switched to neutral when driving, once you step on the emergency brake, the chassis transmission system is not connected with the engine, and the engine braking function will not help. In this way, not only the braking effect is not good (especially for overloaded vehicles), but also the vehicle will lose its balance and slide left and right, and finally the driver will cause an accident because he can't control the vehicle. Moreover, the faster you brake, the harder you brake, the worse your braking force, and the more you slip. It is worth reminding everyone that if you step on the clutch when braking, the result will be equally bad. Especially when going downhill, you can't brake in neutral or step on the clutch, otherwise it will easily get out of control and get into trouble.
