    Sorry it's so late the forum would not let me post.
    Coasting is not allowed, because the vehicle is not under the control of the engine or the parking brake.

    This is arguable with a modern car with the engine running, modern brakes have the capacity to stop the car on a decent without any braking effect from the engine, of course with the engine off there will not be any power assistance for the brakes or steering.

    The car is expected to be under the control of the parking brake or under the control of the engine at all times.
