We have a 2005 Saturn Ion with an automatic transmission. My husband always shifts it into neutral when he approaches a stop light, stop sign, or if traffic slows down and then he shifts it back into drive when traffic starts to move. He also shifts it into neutral when he goes down a hill. I wonder if this is a good idea as far as safety is concerned as well as if it’s good for the car.
