You use netural to tow your car. Like when your car dies in the middle of the street, you put it in neutral so it can be pushed easier.
Your car can roll away if it stays in neutral.

Neutral is a position the transmission is in that does NOT allow engine power to be transmitted to the wheels. Engine is running but wheels do not rotate. Same as PARK, but without the brakes applied, vehicle will move freely...ie, roll away.
Neutral is used usually when vehicle is being towed.
Now that I have probably confused you, have a good day.

Neutral is used when your sitting in your car idling for a while instead of putting it in park keep car in neutral and keep foot on brake when your waiting for some1 or something for a few minutes.Neutral is also used for towing purposes .You can also start your car in neutral.Hope that helps :)

Actually it is not legal to roll your car while driving in neutral so that is very poor advise (your engine is still running and you do not save gas). Nuetral is used when you are being towed, if you stall your car you can put it in neutral to start it while your still moving.

It disengages the gear shift from all gears, meaning it cannot move, except to roll downhill if the emergency brake is not on. Neutral is not to be messed with unless you're an experienced driver.

here in central illinois we use neutral to take power away from the drive wheels in snow or ice to stop safely....if you use a low gear you could possibly go into a spin....also for towing

neutral can be used when you lose the brakes and can't slow down you put the vehicle in neutral and let is slow down on its own because you can not accelerate in that gear. When going down a steep hill you can also switch to neutral and let the car coast down the hill.

neutral disengages the engine & transmision from the wheels, therefore they will spin freely.
