Why is coasting dangerous over long distances?

Explanation: While coasting, you don't get the benefit of engine braking slowing you down or keeping your speed in check. You should avoid coasting generally, but especially at corners, junctions, and downhill sections of road. Instead, plan your approach to these hazards and select the correct gear early. You'll coast for a moment between gear changes, but that is unavoidable.
