puts more stress on your brakes when you eventually brake at the end of the hill.

this would be coasting right? when u learn to drive they teach you not to do this. something to do with engine braking, therefore reduces driver control.

If you wanna do this then just before you put it into gear rais the revs to about 3k then let out the clutch slowly coa you can fuck up your clutch amongst other things. you shouldnt really coast anyway cos you lessent the life of your brakes.

yea coasting is bad, cheap but bad!

i rely on my engine to brake more, i use the engine to brake.
only downside is you get 250miles to full tank! (45litres)
