Confusing, especially as there is nothing in the outside lane?? It's really scarey!!

I used to live near Budleigh Salterton, delightful place but not the abode of many racing drivers. Parking spaces are sparse, and a friend asked someone to reverse their car a little to leave another space (very politely, he was, and looked to be, a gentleman).
"Young man, I have been driving for 35 years and I have never needed to use reverse gear. I have no intention of using it now". Again, said very nicely but rather distantly.
I bet their fuel consumption was low, and their average speed. |

I Drive an average 40000 miles a year commuting and work related. But I suffer with Scyiatica in my right leg. I find using cruise control a lot helps me to stay in an easier driving posture.
I now drive leaving a slightly larger gap to the car in front than most people , I drive 80% of the time out of town on cruise control. Because of this I brake and accelerate far less often and feel much less stressed than I used to I also have found that my fuel consumption has improved by between 10%and 15%. Try it,,,

Unless the law has been changed 'coasting' is illegal.
Done it for years!
