The tyres will wear more quickly
The engine will overheat
The fuel consumption will increase
The vehicle will gain speed more quickly
Explanation: Coasting is when you allow the vehicle to freewheel in neutral or with the clutch pedal depressed. When travelling downhill, this will cause the vehicle to gain speed more quickly as you lose the benefits of engine braking; it may even lead to a loss of control. You shouldn't coast, especially when approaching hazards such as junctions or bends and when travelling downhill.
