There is absolutely nothing wrong with a car which allows a shift into neutral while moving. Besides, manual transmission cars do it all the time between gears.  |
It goes into neutral and won't move freely back into drive. Perhaps you can unlock it by stepping on the brake, but you don't necessarily have that luxury in traffic. Many of the circumstances under which I might deliberately shift into neutral with a standard - like black ice - prohibit stepping on the brake anyway. I pulled over in order to shift back into drive.
