What can result when you travel for long distances in neutral (known as coasting)?

A: Improvement in control

B: Easier steering

C: Reduction in control

D: Increased fuel consumption

Hint

Coasting is the term used when the clutch is held down, or the gear lever is in neutral, and the vehicle is allowed to freewheel. This reduces the driver’s control of the vehicle. When you coast, the engine can’t drive the wheels to stabilise you through
