What?!?!!?

That is the dumbest thing you could do, never put the vehicle in neutral, put it in a lower gear and let the engine help you slow down and be very very soft on the brakes.


Sorry but yoteslayer is right. Putting it in a lower gear does more harm than good when trying to stop. I lived in Nebraska for 6 years and am very familier with driving in ice and snow. The reason for neutral is it keeps the wheels from pulling which fights against the brakes when they are being applied. Best thing to do is already be driving in a lower gear then shift to neutral and lightly pump the brakes when coming to a stop.
