Well putting a car into neutral is very dangerous when going down a hill. You are actually advised not to disengage the gears while the car is moving period. As the driving instructors describe it, doing so means you will not have complete control of the car, as the drive itself provides some of the traction, and allows you to navigate out of potentially hazardous situations.

Like iRage said its due to not having proper training in auto. this was the first time i drove a auto and i really didnt have any clue this would happen. (mind you this was back in 2008)

Yako, where you live, this is probably not likely, but where I live its a fairly regular occurence, where I get stuck either at Kattiya junction, Old Kesbewa Road, Stanley Tilekaratne Mawatha, and if I escape all of these in Narahenpita :) Before we had a car with AC, what we did was turn the car off, pull the hand break and wait :)

That of course does not take anything away from any of the other good advice you have given above.

That is like the least busy railway track in Colombo ... :)

If it is equipped... Yes... such as most of the hybrids.

Not debating the functionality of the technology

But it will be rather lame to emulate Hybrid levels of functionality in your daily pedal pusher, right?

We are talking about the garden variety Tranny here.

Haha... not just hybrids, even sports cars have start-stop now. And on the topic of putting the car into 'N', the new Porsches disengages the gear - essentially putting it into neutral when coasting or coming to a stop without load. See how it does 80mph at 800rpm.
