"13 AAC 02.515. Coasting Prohibited
The driver of a motor vehicle, when traveling upon a highway, may not drive the vehicle with its gears or transmission in neutral, with its clutch disengaged, or otherwise cause the vehicle to coast. "
thats a quote from a state law book...
Well automatic's constantly coast. If you've ever let off the gas long enough you'll notice that the engine rpms will eventually drop to idle. So should they be pulled over too? Even thought they can press the gas and get it back in gear, it's still not instantaneous.
