In MS, it is "illegal" to pop it into neutral and coast to a stop, but I do it every time I am coing up on a red lightanyway. How are the cops going to know?

 

Cuz your brake lights don't turn on?

And if you say that you WERE braking, then you get a ticket for having faulty brake lights...

I've seen it a few times... it's complete BS if you ask me. Just another way to steal our money by meaningless laws.

 

thanks for the shifting tips, haha, though confusing at first, i'm sure i'll get the hang of it, been driving MT for about a year now, gotten pretty use to it..

and is it really illegal to do that to go to neutral then stop? cuz i do that all the time! haha well i'm in CA so i dont think its illegal, but still, i just find it easier to do haha

 

lol i have a friend that drives a manual. He revs it up to 5k every time he starts out so he doesnt stall it, then lets the clutch out very slowly. You can smell the clutch burning after riding with him for 10 mins.

I learned to drive stick in a ford bronco, and it lives up to its name. "bronco". i had a tendency to let the clutch out too fast once the vehicle was moving, thus stalling it. Im not even sure that will stall a smaller car...

 

I was actually meaning you are supposed to "coast" with the car in gear. By coast I mean if you are slowing but do not have to use the brake yet. Still a dumb law either way
