its like standing at the red lights.. in neutral
No bueno , cannot get away fast if a truck comes barreling on to you

being at an intersection waiting... with your wheels already turned to cross.. no bueno somebody rear ends you and you shoot into upcoming traffic.

Neutral has no purpose or merit other then at the MdDonalds Drive, or in a fully developed Tjam

But this question is NOT about best practice for safety or traffic. This question is about the PHYSICs of how the car will handle coasting in neutral. So, imagine you were on a beautifully smooth track with no curbs and great traps to ensure that you don't go off and hit something and no other cars. If you could get up to 90 and roll through a fast sweeper in neutral is the car going to gradually lose speed but be just fine or pirouette or explode or ....
