Rolling around in neutral takes your nice light sports car and turns it into a big heavy soapbox racer.

Could you give a scenario that happened to you ? Whenever I hear this reasoning I can't think of anything of how being in gear will help. I guess if your still moving then it makes sense but people say the same thing about being in neutral vs 1st and clutch in. But if I needed to move , I'd hit the guy next to me ! Just can't wrap my head around it.
