Did I say it was isolated to just kids jumping out in front?
Your right, I drive my car wrong, and thus I should have my drivers license revoked!
Its weird, ten years of driving and no accidents. Hmm, what am I doing wrong?
How many emergency manuevers does your average driver actaully hit the gas? Hmm, probably very few.
And your right. I had to throw everything I know about defensive driving out the window, or else in DC I would still be in my driveway.

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.
