I'm guilty of this one. On the penn turnpyke I've thrown the car in neutral to coast a few miles... infact it was accelerating and I had to use the brakes... a little .
i think that one has more to do with tractor trailers and other vehicles with a GVW over 20,000 pounds. they tend to accelerate a lot faster than a passenger vehicle on a downgrade...

N.J.S.A. 39:4-129 Â*Leaving the scene of an accident No injuries. 2 points
Ah... WTF. So if it's my fault in an accident where nobody is hurt I'll only get 2 points IF I GET CAUGHT? Isn't that a little too low. 8 points if there are injuries!
yes, it does seem low. they should just revoke your license if you leave the scene and there is personal injury, though. i guess they figure they'll be writing other tickets, enough to get you over 12, if they write that one. if you've got 2 or 4 and they add 8, then they just need one more to push you over. then it takes forever (it seems) to get them off your license...
