JadeJuggler+FollowWhy Coasting Isn’t Just Okay—It’s Smart DrivingI used to think I had to be on the gas or brake at all times, like I was in some sort of race. But after years of daily commuting, I realized that constantly switching between pedals just makes the drive more stressful—for me and everyone around me. You’re not in a go-kart or a Grand Prix. If you’re always speeding up and slowing down, you might be the problem, not the other drivers. Sometimes, just letting your car coast is the best move. It saves gas, reduces wear on your brakes, and keeps traffic flowing smoother. Give it a try next time you’re on the road! What’s your experience with coasting?
