Gravity adds a force (kgs) going downhill = sin (incline angle) * mass vehicle (kgs)
and detracts the force when going uphill (same equation)

Gravity your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and it when you are driving downhill?
it is both kinetic and potential energy
Why is coasting dangerous when driving a car?
Because, if the car is in neutral, you have no ability to accelerate pushing the gas pedal.
You can be driving and your shifter will be in revers why?
This could happen if there is a mechanical issue with the transmission linkage, causing the shifter position not to align with the actual gear the car is in. It is important to get this issue fixed immediately to prevent accidents or damage to the transmission.

When driving downhill your vehicle will accelerate and start moving fast due to?

Why do sudden stops affect fuel efficiency?
The sudden stop indicates that the vehicle was being driven quickly prior to stopping. If you are driving quickly you have to feed the engine more fuel than if you are coasting. If you take your foot off the gas and coast up to the stop you will have used less fuel and your brakes will not wear out as quickly.
