You obviously know nothing about defensive driving.

And emergency manoeuvers are not isolated to just kids jumping out of cars.

Every DMV book states that it is illegal to coast in neutral for good reason. If you lack the comprehension of an adult, I cannot help you.

ps. your stopping distance increases when you are not in gear.
