If you are certain you are not going immediately to have to move again, and provided you have used up close to all of the engine braking effect, i.e. selecting netural a a failry LATE stage, then yes.

Otherwise, no, stop in gear, to maximise engine braking and to be ready to go again, if likely soon.

Why is coasting down hill bad?

Coasting requires you to put the gear into neutral and let the car freewheel down the hill. If you came to a bend on the hill and someone was speeding up the hill, you may not have enough time to react and slam on the brakes, or slow down. When you aren't in gear, you have less control of your car, as opposed to if you was in gear. E.g. If you were in gear and slammed on the brakes, your car would stall, jerk you forward and stop, however because you aren't in gear, your car won't stop rolling.(It's why you can push your car when it's out of gear, but you can't push it when it's in gear).


Why does your car move forward when in neutral?

The neutral position puts a cars transmission out of gear and therefore makes the car roll.
